Millions of Africans have put their trust in Jesus. But in times of crisis, many African Christians turn to animistic rituals, despite the church’s prohibitions against such practices.

Why is this? In African Traditional Religion and Christian Counseling, Karl Grebe and Wilfred Fon provide insight. This book contains an in-depth analysis of what the world looks like through the traditional African worldview, and God’s role in the minds of many Africans.

Grebe and Fon reveal what is lacking in the traditional African worldview, and what predisposes Africans towards welcoming the Christian message. At the same time, the authors carefully and gently explain the dilemma which the African Christian faces when confronted with crises of life such as sickness, drought, and witchcraft.

When faced with these challenges, the church needs to be prepared. African Traditional Religion and Christian Counseling is a one-of-a-kind resource that will equip you to teach the truths of the gospel that are particularly relevant to the African worldview.
