A Contextual Fulfilment of Redemption Theme in African Religiosity: A Case Study of the Nandi People of Kenya
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
All religions agree that there is something deeply wrong with mankind, that human lives are not what they were meant to be. That human beings are alienated from the source of meaning and value. For the great religions of the Semitic origin - Judaism, Christianity and Islam – the basic human problem is moral (Rice, 1985), it is what human beings have done. Every religion describes a way of overcoming thisseparation and achieving what man has lost. The “Hebrew sanctuary and its services” a sub-set of Hebrew religion spelt out mainly in the Old Testament which is a prophecy dramatizing the only means of Redemption through the Messiah to come in symbols seem to have some parallelism with the practices surrounding the “Nandi male initiation ceremonies” today – a sub-set of Nandi religion (African). The objective of this study was: Todemonstrate that Christ Jesus came to fulfill the history of the plan of Redemption of mankind through African religion(Nandi) just as it does with Hebrew religion in biblical perspective.
