Reconciling Atr With Christianity: Why Is It Hard To Transform Lives? (Theology)

These indigenous African religions vary in detail, but they agree in essentials such as the spiritual nature of the world, the existence and remoteness of God, the role of spirits and mystical powers, the role of ancestors or the living dead and the way humans relate to their world and to the Supreme Being. If the specific cultural and social context of moral decision-making is not taken seriously by Christian missionaries, it is bound to be a recipe for conflict among different African communities. The gap in this book indicates that Christian religion is deficient of the provision of adequate security and protection for African Christians. Many African Christians are either disillusioned or frustrated with Christianity because a large number of African Christians believe that the church is not interested in their daily misfortunes, illnesses, practical problems of evil and witchcraft, bad luck, poverty, barrenness, and conflicts.
