The emergent religiosity of post-traditional African thought

There exists in the modern worlda form of non-Christianised religious thought which develops the basic ideas of indigenous African religion beyond their beginnings, and is represented in authorssuch as Kamalu, Osabutey-Aguedze, etc. The spheres of interest in such authors fiJay be
analysed in terms of the following areas:
Intervening ideological conditions bearing on African life (particularr; theological and cosmological ideas):
The historical background of African life;
The roots of African life, as manifested in its traditions, and tts ethical and cultural heritage;
Means for the innovative development of African life, found in African concepts of knowledge, mysticism and magic;
The perceived destiny of African life.
The thesis concludes with an indication of areas of agreement and debate in post-traditional African thought, of problems faced by such thought; and of other possible priorities for future study. / Religious Studies and Arabic / D.Th. (Religious Studies)
