Sexual Morality in the World's Religions
Sex and religion are two of the commonest concerns of mankind.

Monotheism and Pantheism in Africa
Nearly a hundred years ago E. B. Tylor wrote that, in strict sense, no savage tribe of monotheists has ever been known. Nor are any fair representatives of lower culture in a strict sense pantheists. The doctrine which they do widely hold, and which opens to them a course tending in one or other of these directions, is polytheism culminating in rule of one supreme divinity [I]. These were bold words at a time when little was known accurately of b…

Recent Views of Indian Religion and Philosophy
The appearance of several important books on Indian religion and philosophy provides an opportunity for consideration of the attractions and obstacles to understanding that important world of thought. At the end of the British Raj it seemed as if there might be a slackening of interest in India, but nothing will stop Indians writing and many books arestill coming from European and American writers. But how reliable are they? ‘Indian philosophy is…

Islam and West African Indigenous Religion
Many studies have been published on the indigenous religions of various parts of West Africa, and a considerable literature exists of Christian missionary enterprise there, though on both subjects there are many gaps in our knowledge that need be filled in. Much less scholarship has been expended upon the study of Islam in West Africa. Probably more has been written in French than in English, and there is a notable series of studies by Paul Marty…

This great movement towards Christianity is undoubtedly due largely to the breakdown of traditional African ways of life. In West Africa, Islam also has profited by the change to extend its sway, especially in Northern Nigeria and parallel territories but hardly at all in Eastern Nigeria or the low…
