This 58-page booklet, available for download in both English and French, describes the key elements of an African Traditional Religion (ATR) worldview and interprets them in relation to Scripture:

2. Christianity and the African Worldview
3. The Biblical View of Spiritual Realities
4. Interpreting ATR in View of Scripture

The authors conclude with implications for Christian communication and counseling in such contexts.
