This book is about the dangers of religious intolerance, conflict
and violence oriented strategies in our contemporary society. It
exposes the evangelical strategies of Christian Churches and
Denominations in the Nigerian society. The process of the
enthronement of 'prosperity theology' has led to manipulation of
individuals and events through demonization, deliverance, organized
healings and miracles. This type of Christianity destroys religious
values and exposes the society to the danger of materialism.
Christian Churches should be advocates of empowerment, freedom and
dignity instead of victimization of its members. This study argues
that authentic Christian witnessing can only be achieved through
holistic and proper integration of its teachings into
socio-cultural values of its local setting. It insists that
religion should enhance good core values and not destroy it. It
critically analyses the elemental causes of conflict and violence
in Igboland and concludes by making recommendations towards a
peaceful society.
