Crisis of Life in African Religion and Christianity

Throughout history, death has preoccupied philosophers, sociologists and theologians of every culture. The authors provide reasons for why Africans have managed to nurture an incredible sense of hope in spite of the shadows and stark reality of death. 

This volume documents the discussion by an LWF working group on African Religions and Christianity.
