Spearmasters : Introduction to African Religion Paperback / softback
by Molefi Kete Asante, Emeka Nwadiora
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Spear Masters contends that in Africa there exists only one religion with a vast array of "denominations." African religion is expressed in a different way by each of the denominations, which creates confusion for those who believe that there are more than one African religion.
Spear Masters presents information about some of the larger and most significant expressions of the sole African religion, so that the reader will understand the relationship between God the creator and the notions of the relationship with the family and community.
The term "spear master" relates to the integrity and ethics that had to accompany the maker and user of the spear in ancient African societies.
The essence of religion presented in Spear Masters is the deification of one's society and nation, and making sacred the traditions and rituals of the ordinary lives of the people.
