Encyclopedia of African Religion (original) (raw)

The 'Encyclopedia of African Religion' serves as the first comprehensive resource compiling a wide range of ideas, concepts, and essays on African religious thought, targeting students and researchers in related fields. While it emphasizes the unity and diversity of African beliefs, significant omissions, inadequate indexing, and a lack of maps detract from its overall effectiveness. Despite these weaknesses, the encyclopedia is recommended for its unique scope and utility as a reference for expanding knowledge on African culture and religion.
