Description

Despite political persecution, economic stalemate and military intimidation, this book shows how churches of all denominations continue to grow under the stimulus of vibrant indigenous spirituality and cultural idioms.
Incorporating interviews with Christians from six of the most influential churches in Lagos, this book gives readers a sense of daily life in Lagos for Christians. Through this original ethnographic research, Caleb O. Oladipo explores first-hand accounts of faith and practice in the city, offering a unique perspective to scholars of global Christianity.
A collection of stories from Christians of diverse ethnographic backgrounds, this book shows that Christianity is an integral part of the rhythm of life in Lagos. Christians in Lagos, one of the most populous cities in the world, are dynamic with a confluence of traditions, beliefs, and community.
