Book Reviews of Yoruba Beliefs and Sacrificial Rites
Book Review: This is the book - Buy it
Summary: 5 Stars
One of best books I read. f you want to understand the tradicional Yoruba Religion you will find here good and enough information. In fact he could be more deep but, well, it is good. The book has 2 half. The first is about Beliefs. It is the best. The second is about sacrifices rites. The second half is weaker than the first one. For to be good this half had to be more information and this issue, sacrificial rites is so deep that it would require a lot of more information for to be good. But the book is very good and can be the first one which you read for understand Lukumi, Santeria or Candomble.
Summary of Yoruba Beliefs and Sacrificial Rites
Surveys previous works on Yoruba religion and outlines a typology of beliefs, as well as offers an interpretation of religious rites as elements of sacrificial system. This serious study gives valuable material for other approaches to religion-comparative, scientific and theological in addition to providing a point of reference for further studies of socio-religious change and a glimpse into the potential future of the Yoruba religion.Mythology Books
