520 $aThis work is a first of its kind historical introduction to the major religions of Africa. The vast majorities of Africa's peoples have been Muslim, Christian, or "Traditionalist" for a great deal of time, making an inclusive study of these religions essential. Isichei's work gives equal attention to all three religions and balances the elements of each to construct an easily accessible overview.

This work includes four sections, each dedicated to a separate religion, detailed maps, a glossary, and a guide to further reading.
