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).
