Description
"No religious or spiritual tradition has been as extocized and fictionalized as the spiritual traditions of the African diaspora. Here, Conner and Sparks present these traditions as they are understood and practiced by real people, wrestling with real issues of identity and meaning... A useful resource" - David W. Machacek, PhD. "This immediately enganging and compelling work is destined to become a classic" - Sean M. Kelly, PhD.
