Òrìşà Devotion as World Religion
Author: Jacob Kẹhinde Olupona
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299224646
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 628
Book Description
As the twenty-first century begins, tens of millions of people participate in devotions to the spirits called Òrìsà. This book explores the emergence of Òrìsà devotion as a world religion, one of the most remarkable and compelling developments in the history of the human religious quest. Originating among the Yorùbá people of West Africa, the varied traditions that comprise Òrìsà devotion are today found in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia. The African spirit proved remarkably resilient in the face of the transatlantic slave trade, inspiring the perseverance of African religion wherever its adherents settled in the New World. Among the most significant manifestations of this spirit, Yorùbá religious culture persisted, adapted, and even flourished in the Americas, especially in Brazil and Cuba, where it thrives as Candomblé and Lukumi/Santería, respectively. After the end of slavery in the Americas, the free migrations of Latin American and African practitioners has further spread the religion to places like New York City and Miami. Thousands of African Americans have turned to the religion of their ancestors, as have many other spiritual seekers who are not themselves of African descent. Ifá divination in Nigeria, Candomblé funerary chants in Brazil, the role of music in Yorùbá revivalism in the United States, gender and representational authority in Yorùbá religious culture--these are among the many subjects discussed here by experts from around the world. Approaching Òrìsà devotion from diverse vantage points, their collective effort makes this one of the most authoritative texts on Yorùbá religion and a groundbreaking book that heralds this rich, complex, and variegated tradition as one of the world's great religions.

God's Covenant People
Author: Vincent Oshin
Publisher: Parousia Collective
ISBN: 9789785923254
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
"God's Covenant People: Enforcing Kingdom Mandate" explores the biblical concept of blood covenant against the backdrop of blood covenant in African indigenous religion/traditional societies and its pervading influence on African Christian thoughts. In seeking to separate the traditional concept and practice from its variant in the Bible, the author highlights the context in which God established covenant relationship with individuals and the nation of Israel, locating the relationship within God's initiatives at restoring His preeminent position in creation before the fall of Lucifer and a third of the angels. The restoration of God's Kingship and Kingdom on earth becomes the overarching goal of Covenants established between God and humankind. While God has been consistent in demonstrating His love and compassion for humanity through His providence, especially in giving His only Son as substitutionary sacrifice for human sin, humankind has been unfaithful and has lost every opportunity for redemption until the advent of Jesus Christ who not only fulfilled every aspect of the Old Covenant that man could never fulfill, but also established the New Covenant of grace and peace. The book highlights events and portents in human history showing God's faithfulness against man's unfaithfulness. From the Old Testament period to the New Testament, human beings have turned their back on God. And the Church of the New Covenant has not done better. "God's Covenant People..." is a wake-up call to Christians and the Church to get their acts together and enforce the Kingdom mandate as commanded by Christ in his Great commission.

Believing Jesus
Author: Lisa Harper
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 0718011201
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Are you truly willing to risk everything? In Believing Jesus, Bible teacher and author Lisa Harper retraces the steps of the apostles in the book of Acts, while throwing in a few of her own crazy adventures along the way. The disciples didn’t have much of a road map after Jesus ascended to heaven, but God’s grace and spirit filled in the gaps as they moved forward. It required their willingness to risk everything to establish a new community that would change the future world. As a regular speaker on the Women of Faith® tour, Lisa has earned a reputation as a true theological scholar and hilarious storyteller—not necessarily in that order! Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado calls Lisa one of the “best Bible tour guides around.” Believing Jesus will highlight both of Lisa’s strengths as she tackles every chapter of the Book of Acts with biblical wisdom and modern wit. Lisa keeps it real, telling stories on herself and pointing readers back to Jesus, the only one who can truly lead.
