Description

This book signifies a distinct separation of the ritual healing process in the Zion Christian Church from traditional African medicine while also attempting to synthesize contemporary medical approaches with indigenous knowledge systems. The Zion Christian Church is recognized for its distinctive amalgamation of religious activities, which include faith healing, prophecy, and significant pilgrimages, particularly the Easter pilgrimage to Moria. Despite the church's emphasis on the Christian identity within its faith healing practices, some observers interpret various rituals and beliefs as syncretic. Consequently, these readings have led to allegations that the church integrates aspects of African traditional medicine and witchcraft into its rituals. This book utilizes the church as a case study to examine healing faith, practices, and rituals thereof within the larger framework and context of African Independent Churches. This theology is used to help place the faith of patients and the importance of God’s role as healer ahead of the healing rituals. Its unique theme-driven, interconnected chapters contain discussions around various practices, encompassing purification and protection rituals as well as therapeutic worship. Consequently, scholars in religious studies, theology, anthropology, and history will find this book an important resource in understanding the role of healing rituals among African Independent Churches.
