Marakwet

World Religions

“In this wonderful book, an African theologian speaks powerfully and persuasively of the impact of his faith on the people of his own culture. . . . Elolia draws our attention to the sophistication of Marakwet thought and religious practice. Christianity may have focused on humans to the exclusion of the rest of God’s creation, but Marakwet cultural beliefs did not and we have much to learn from them. . . . Elolia’s informed guide to the interaction of faith and culture is of paramount importance in a world where Africa houses the majority of its Christian faithful. A theology indeed for modern times.”
