Dans une religion sans dogme ni livre canonique, l'existence des dieux nous parvient fragmentée, éclatée en autant de parcelles qu'il existe de "documents" : stèles, papyrus, statues, temples... Cet ouvrage propose au lecteur quelques clefs pour pénétrer dans l'imaginaire des Égyptiens, approcher le monde des dieux de l'Égypte et appréhender cette religion du savoir, qui pendant trois millénaires, a accumulé des connaissances du vrai justifiant des apparences du réel.

This book addresses the relationship between religion, climate change, and food security in Africa. Contributors to this volume interrogate how and to what extent religion in Africa serves as a resource (or confounding factor) in responding to Sustainable Development Goals 13 (action on climate change) and 2 (achieve Zero Hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture). Approaching the theme from diverse disciplinary and methodological angles, contributors probe the potential role of religion in Africa to accelerate the achievement of these two SDGs, especially the role of religion with regard to food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, and food systems stability. Loreen Maseno is a Senior Lecturer, Department of Religion, Theology and Philosophy, Maseno University, Kenya and Research fellow, University of South Africa (UNISA). David Andrew Omona is an Associate Professor of Ethics and International Relations and Dean School of Social Sciences at Uganda Christian University.

“An original and thrilling tale of the history and complexity of religion and politics in Africa. Max-Wirth uncovers the deep connections between religious occult rumors and civil life in Ghana. This brilliantly written and meticulously researched book establishes Max-Wirth as an important voice in African Studies, Political Science, and Religious Studies. This work is thought provoking and transformative in the way that it treats religion, ethics, and politics in a nuanced and well-balanced scholarly method.” —Jacob K. Olupona, Harvard University This book addresses the phenomenon of rumors about the occult in contemporary Ghanaian politics. Drawing on data from fieldwork interviews and analysis of case studies, it examines: why political rumors in Ghana often focus on the occult; what political-occult rumors accomplish and for whom; the ways in which Ghanaian politicians use rumors about the occult to gain political advantage; and some of the popular attitudes of the electorate to the rumors. The book demonstrates that political-occult rumors have become important tools in the hands of Ghanaian politicians to gain political advantage over opponents, and the electorate as means to critique the actions and behavior of political actors and the political process, generally. In a nutshell, this book highlights the important role of occult rumors in modern Ghanaian politics, with a particular focus on the period between the late 1970s and present. The main thrust of the argument in this book is that the flourishing of political-occult rumors and the strength of Pentecostalism are related, and that far from being a phenomenon existing on the margins of modern Ghanaian society, the occult is powerful, public and mainstream. Comfort Max-Wirth is a lecturer in the Department for the Study of Religions at the University of Ghana, Legon.

This comprehensive Handbook provides chapter length surveys of the history of Christian missions and Christian churches on the African continent since the time of Christ. Africa is rapidly becoming the most Christianized region of the world. While common narratives about Christianity tend to present Christianity as a set of ideas and beliefs imposed on Africa from the outside, such narratives hold little meaning for African Christians or for those seeking to understand Christianity in Africa as an indigenous faith. The proposed collection of chapters therefore provides a set of scholarly starting points for a new set of narratives. The chapters collected here communicate an idea of Christianity as it has been embraced among African peoples at particular historical moments. It therefore grants voice to the various strands of African Christianity on their own terms, and offers scholarly study of what these voices teach us about how the world's most adhered to religion is practiced and understood on the continent of Africa.
