A Critical Review of Methodologies of African Religion and Culture
by Professor Udobata R. Onunwa
This book serves two purposes: one, it is a critical evaluation of the methodologies that have been used to study the Traditional African Religion and Culture for the past four centuries or so. Two, recognising that no single theoretical framework could fully provide a holistic view of the multifaceted African Religion and Culture, the author recommends and applied in the second part a methodology christened Culture-Area and Phenomenological Approach.
