This volume argues that the over-rationalization of the Zionist-Christian church has alienated it from the people at the grassroots level by alienating itself from the holistic emphases of the Christian message. Focusing on religious experience, it suggests a more balanced approach to what is referred to as theology and warns against the predominant Western-oriented disposition to theology in the African context. As hymns and choruses play such a vital role in the dynamic mini-churches related to the AIC, the author's study of these hymns presents an analysis of a major devotional activity.
