Scientific Rationality and African Indigenous Religions

James L. Cox

Including field descriptions of Zimbabwean myths and rituals this book is divided into three parts.

Part One contains the author's own analyses and application of theories relevant to the study of African Indigenous Religions.

Parts Two and Three are comprised of edited versions of the oral literature and ritual descriptions obtained by Phenomenology of Religion students in the University of Zimbabwe in 1991 and 1992. The author James L. Cox explores ways in which science, as a confession of faith, interacts with the faith of indigenous Africans to produce a new "horizon of understanding".

This volume appears in the series Religions of Africa of the African Association for the Study of Religions (AASR).

ISBN 1-899025-08-1 £18.95
