This volume focuses on the interaction between post-conciliar Roman Catholicism and Asante religion of Ghana. The fusion between Christianity and Asante ways is examined, such as the reinterpretation of Christian values and figures in terms of Asante notions and traditions - for example, Jesus is reconfigured as Kurotwiamansa (leopard). Asante cultural history is explored, and the text shows how their religio-political institutions were affected during contact with European traders, missionaries and colonial authorities. Finally, the book discusses religious vocabulary, spirituality, theology, and the role of community during social and religious change.
