This edition updates the scholarship on ancestor worship-with the
addition of three new chapters. Beginning with Akan theology and
ending with sacrifices, the study examines Akan conception of God,
the abosom (gods and goddesses) relative to creation, centrality of
the ancestors' stool as the ultimate religious symbol housing the
soul of the Akan, and organized annual propitiatory festivities
carried out among the Akan in honor of the ancestors (Nananom
Nsamanfo) and abosom. The book, therefore, serves as an invaluable
resource for those interested in the phenomenon of African
religion, because it provides real insight into ancestor worship in
ways that are meaningful, practical, systematic, and as a way of
life by an Akan Traditional ruler ( dikro) and a professor of
Africana studies.
