N2  - Before his conversion to Christianity, A. E. Orobator was raised in a Nigerian family steeped in the practice of traditional African Religion- animism, to use the term of andthropologists; "paganism" or "heathenism," to use the term of the missionaries. This repository of African religion, he argues-at its heart "a deep belief in the livingness of creation" is the soil in which Christianity       and Islam have taken root. - from bookcover
