Africa is a vast continent, the second largest, after Asia, 4X the size of the USA, excluding Alaska, and the cradle of human civilization and diverse, with more than 50 countries with over 700 million people who speak over 1,000 languages. The ecological & cultural differences vary from one region to another. It is old & one of the richest in culture and customs, and its contributions to world civilization are impressive. Africans regard culture as essential to their lives and future development. Culture embodies their philosophy, worldview, behavior patterns, arts, and institutions. But unfortunately, most of the civilizations, cultures and histories of African life have not been unearthed. Africa has a rich/complex history & religion but there is widespread ignorance of this heritage. Thus successful rejuvenation of Africa into the discipline of world history and culture directly challenges the notion that Africa is a historical baby, a plastic continent whose historical significance was always shaped by the heat and force of external stimuli, and to whom change always came from the outside. The biggest dilemma of whether Christians should study other religions is both a philosophical and a theological issue. It is a question that is as old as the early days of the church, and it has come up again and again over the centuries. The gospel is, after all, the only way to salvation, and God's Word is truth. So, why should a follower of Christ study anything that is not truth? False religion is actually demonic, and we approach the demonic at our peril. Should Christians seek to understand the religious convictions of non-Christians, and should that knowledge influence how we share the gospel? Religion surrounds our daily lives & studying different types help us understand the differences that are visible all around us, increases our understanding of the global spiritual complexity, helps one to delve into how religion interacts with all of these facets of our world. The first volume covered the early life of Simeo, the African Traditional Religion and the Jewish Religion and the concept of Messiah, among others. Therefore, the book is the Second Volume in the series of documenting the undocumented and captures comprehensively Lejio Maria of African Church Mission and in particular it is about Baba Simeo Melkio Ondeto. The latter founded the church as an offshoot of the Catholic Church. This is an interesting book worth reading because very few churches usually split from the Catholic Church. He became the eternal spiritual leader of the church which refers to Ondeto's son ship of God and his eternal mediator ship. He is considered as an African 'Messiah' and has acquired several titles such as; Omnipotent (Janyalo, ng'at man kod nyalo), Baba (wuonwa or father ), the Lord (Ruoth), Teacher (Japuonj), the African Lord (Ruodh Joratenge), Black God (Nyasach Joratenge) among others.
