General note:
|
This book is about the encounters between Muslims and Christians in northern Nigeria and the challenges posed in the process to the wider Nigerian society. Juergensmeyer (2003, 4) notes that ‘religions move and intertwine’. This is obvious from the history of northern Nigeria over the past ten centuries when traditional African religions were joined on the scene, first by Islam, and then by Christianity. The resulting rubbing against each other – sometimes peaceably, sometimes, less so, sometimes for the common good, and sometimes for narrow sectarian ends – constitute the religious encounters.
