Description

"Religious Encounter and the Making of the Yoruba brings together history, religion, and social anthropology. It is an important book for readers interested in African history, colonialism and culture, religious change, and the globalization of Christianity."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

The large-scale adoption of Christianity has been one of the master themes of modern African history; and as the third millennium beckons, it may well prove to be of world historical significance too, contributing to a decisive shift in Christianity's geopolitical placement, from North to South.
