The Plan of Creation in African Tradition Ezeoforkire C Ezenwa

From the time European nations conquered Africa, they went on to condemn everything about the cultures they subjugated. Their religion was dismissed as mere paganism and their way of life was abhorred as subhuman. The effects of this so-called "civilising mission" are still being felt today and often manifest in Africans who hate their past and present, without the ability to discern where the rain began to beat them, as the writer Chinua Achebe said. In this book Nze Ezeoforkire C. Ezenwa argues, against conventional thinking to show that African traditional religion is both mystical and scientific, a belief system based on empirical experience and not given to blind faith.
