Africa and the New Face of Mission

A Critical Assessment of the Legacy of the Irish Spiritans Among the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a study of the impact of the Irish Spiritans upon the Igbo of Nigeria during the twentieth century. Ebelebe argues that the Church must be selective in what it reclaims from its Irish Heritage and must draw from the resources of Igbo traditional culture and religion.
