Light and Darkness

Can your Christian faith coexist with traditional beliefs? Well . . . it depends. This book seeks to evaluate African traditional religions from a biblical perspective. Light and Darkness: Essential Biblical Perspectives on African Traditional Religion explores traditional concepts and cultural practices through the lens of God’s Word. With extensive knowledge of African cultures, the Bible, and traditional religions gained through a lifetime of service and study, Dr Gehman respectfully outlines these beliefs and practices, draws comparisons to other religious systems both historical and modern, and examines the biblical teaching that applies to these contexts. He follows this pattern across three main categories:

• Mystical powers – like magic, divination, witchcraft, and sorcery;
• The spirit world – including divinities, created spirits, and the living-dead; and
• The supreme being.
