Towards a Christian Theology of African Ancestors
This book examines the similarities and relationship between Christian saints and African ancestors.

The author argues that rather than being antithetical to formal Christianity, an African Christian theology of ancestors is an example of how an indigenous African tradition can best express Christianity as well as make considerable impact on world Christianity.
