Reviews

Framed in African Christian churches, the book explores religious experiences which would seem irrational but not. It shows how the longing for Africaness should neither be taken for granted nor exploited in contemporary times. It is valuable to African spirituality enthusiasts. - Dr Nelly Mwale, Department of Religious Studies, University of Zambia Tresphor Mutale helps us to understand that only through interrogating how African traditional religions are inculturated can we adequately comprehend the irrationalities of split narcissist expressions and practices of African Christianity. African traditional religions have not only influenced Christianity but remain resilient and a force behind the massive presence of Christianity in Africa - Professor Chammah J. Kaunda, The United Graduate School of Theology, Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea In this deeply anthropological and critically engaging book, Trephor Mutale gives voice to contemporary culture concerns and brilliantly builds on the optimistic outlook for Christianity in Africa which the continent should pride itself on. - Peter Kayula (PhD), Journalist, Lusaka, Zambia
