This book plays the devil’s advocate by challenging the statuesque position on the religions traditionally found in Africa. In order to stir up thoughts about the nature of these religions as well as the worship elements used in them. No one can ‘again’ say that the Africans do not have religions, just as Africans should cease calling what they do at the level of culture their religions. What then are the religions of the Africans? How can they fare as religions? What is more needed in their discussions on soteriology?

This book discusses in phases the history of ádímúlà (religion found among the Yoruba). It also presents a platform for theologians to discuss the nature of ádímúlà and by extension, other African religions, in view of the inexorable need for dialogue and interaction in this age of religious pluralism.

This work responds to some everyday questions on the practices found in ádímúlà, as well as the level of interaction that non-believers in the tenets of ádímúlà can have with the religion. This is clearly not an apologist voice for ádímúlà, but a call to think objectively about ádímúlà.

This book is indispensable for thinkers, teachers and students of African religion and belief system.
