This book examines and compares the religious experience of an
African group with a European one. It offers an ethnographical
investigation of the Jukun of north central Nigeria. The author
also organically weaves into the narrative the Christianization of
the Irish in a comparative fashion. Throughout, he makes the case
for an African Christianity connected to a Celtic Irish
Christianity and vice-versa -- as different threads in a tapestry.
This work is a product of a synthesis of archival research in three
continents, interviews with surviving first-generation Christians
who were active practitioners of the Jukun indigenous religion, and
with former missionaries to the Jukun. On the Irish side, it draws
from extant primary sources and interviews with scholars in Celtic
Irish studies. In addition, pictures, diagrams, and excerpts from
British colonial and missionary journals provide a rich contextual
understanding of Jukun religious life and practices. The author is
among the emerging voices in the study of World Christianity who
advocate for the reality of "poly-centres" for Christianity. This
perspective recognizes voices from the Global South in the
expansion of Christianity. This book serves as a valuable resource
for historians, anthropologists, theologians, and those interested
in missions studies, both scholars and lay readers seeking to
deepen their understanding of World Christianity.
