Focusing on the three leading religious traditions in Africa
(African Traditional Religion, Islam, and Christianity), this book
shows how belief in the supremacy of sacred words compels actions
and influences practices in contemporary Africa. "Sacred words" are
taken to mean holy texts as in divination, the Quran and the Bible.
Toyin Falola evaluates how religious leaders engage with sacred
words, both orals and texts, engendering practices that reveal the
expression of religious beliefs, the impact of those beliefs, and
the knowledge contained in them. Attention is given to the key
ideas in the words chosen by religious leaders, and how they form a
continuous knowledge system, impacting the politics of managing
society and people.
