Abstract:

The Shembe Church's integration of African Traditional Religion and Christianity has been met by many challenges. This merger has been rejected by both African traditionalists and Christians. The Shembe Church has been met by intolerance even though the movement in some ways creates multiculturalism between different people and cultures. This thesis documents the Shembe Church's ideas and practices; it discusses how the Shembe Church combines two ideologies that appear to be at odds with each other. In looking at Shembe ideas and practices, the thesis discusses African religion-inspired ritual

Abstract:

The history of African Traditional Religions (ATRs), both inside and outside academia, is one dominated by exclusions. These exclusions were created by the colonial framing of ATRs as primitive, irrational and inferior to other religions. This colonial legacy is in danger of being preserved by the absence of ATRs from the academic study of religion, legal definitions of religion, and global and local conversations about religion. This thesis will explore the ways that a more considered and accurate examination of the understudied religious dimensions within ATRs can potentially dismantle this

He displayed a commitment to the struggle for freedom of the oppressed blacks in South Africa. His ideology was 'Black Consciousness' which was a threat to the regime and an affirmation and a creation of true humanity for the oppressed. What became clear is the fac

Abstract:

The approach of the missionaries towards the Vhavenda was more scholarly than practical, and had little to do with everyday realities. It appears to have been focused on Western ethnocentricity rather than on the propagation of the Gospel. As a result, it could not fulfil the purpose for which it was intended. In Africa, as everywhere else in the world, the interpretation of the Gospel message takes place in a particular and unique context. This means that, in the practice of theology, one should take into account not only the spirit and the Gospel message, but also the culture of the p

An indigenous and traditional Igbo society is communal; it does not entertain any sense of individuality. But the coming of the missionaries broke into this communal bond with a new religion that threatened the traditional society when it began to exalt the individual soul.

Abstract:

African American women writers in the post-civil rights era, such as Toni Morrison, Paule Marshall, and Toni Cade Bambara, have demonstrated that the use of African spiritual traditions is a means to address black women’s struggles with violent oppression on race and gender in the United States. These works set the precedent for many more African American women writers of the late twentieth century to incorporate this spiritual tradition in their works. Literary critics have highlighted the aspects of this tradition in the works by these important writers. However, scholars have not examined a

The history of African Independent Churches (AICs) in Southern Africa goes back for more than a hundred years. They have proliferated geographically and demographically in Africa more than the mainline churches could ever have imagined. They have grown to be as widespread and as influential as the African mainline churches. The reason for this growth is that the AICs are the churches of African indigenous people. They are launched by Africans from a background of an African traditional and cultural frame of reference. The most significant reason is that the founders of these churches ar

Text in Afrikaans<br>Die eerste hoofstuk omskryf die begrip ngano, daarna volg 'n uiteensetting hoe die Venda mondelinge tradisie in die verlede gefunksioneer het en word die huidige aard en posisie van die verskynsel in die lewe van die gemeenskap gedefinieer. Veranderende sosio-ekonomiese en politieke kragte het die tradisionele lewenswyse van die Venda-mense in so 'n mate versteur dat die mondelinge tradisie en die stem van die storieverteller nie meer hoog waardeer word deur die moderne geslag nie.
