African Traditional Religions in Transition: Modernism, Globalization and African Indigenous Faiths in Context

Contrary to the writings of early Western Scholars, prior to the invasion of the slave traders and colonialism, the African was religious within a descriptive context of relative awareness of his existence, not in comparison with any other. The African has never been irreligious and ignorant of the existence of a Supreme being or the spirit realm. In the era of increasing advancement in technology, modernization and globalization, the African, in the practice of his indigenous faith, appears to be succumbing to several influences. The invasion of Islam and Christianity have also had their respective toll on African Traditional Religious beliefs and practices. Indeed, African Traditional religious beliefs and practices across diverse societies on the continent have been transformed in many ways. The question is whether the African in many years to come will still have a religion in the form bequeathed by the ancestors? To what extent has globalization and modernization and so on, influenced the way the African believes and worships? This Paper discusses this very important subject and opens the debate for further research and discussions.

Established Church, Sectarian People: Itinerancy and the Transformation of English Dissent, 1780-1830.

This book examines a neglected aspect of English social history - the operation of itinerant preachers during the period of political and social ferment at the turn of the nineteenth century. It investigates the nature of their popular brand of Christianity and considers their impact upon existing churches: both the threat apparently posed to the established Church of England and the consequences of their activity for the smaller Protestant bodies from which they arose. The particular strength of the book lies in the extensive use it makes of previously untapped local archives drawn from many English counties - records which include numerous parochial, legal, associational and congregational sources. This is a study of religion in transition which is set against the wider canvas of social change attendant upon the early Industrial Revolution and the political shock waves emanating from France.

From Temple to Tomb: Ancient Chinese Art and Religion in Transition

By exploring the shift of ancestral worship centers in ancient China and its impact on art, the author argues that the genealogical/political structure of the Three Dynasties found its religious form in temple worship; however, following the decline of this system during the Eastern Zhou and the Qin, the tomb of an individual increased in importance. This process culminated during the Eastern Han: Problems in dynastic succession forced the Eastern Han rulers to abandon temple ceremonies and transfer them to graveyards. But this new system was again renounced by the following Wei dynasty, and many funerary structures were destroyed in an “iconoclastic” movement. The author contends that this complex development in religion strongly influenced and even governed the course of ancient Chinese art: Corresponding to the shift in religious center, the tomb assumed new symbolic imagery, and pictorial funerary art replaced ritual vessels to become the dominant artistic genre of early imperial China.
