DACULA, Ga., Dec. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Joseph Dele Tunji, an accomplished academic and a director/senior fellow at SLICC Inc., USA, Center for Christian Research Development and Training, has compiled centuries of material into his new book "Unspoken": a comprehensive survey of the evidence of traditional African practices woven into the fabric of modern day Christianity in diasporic communities.

"[This book] exposes the problem of syncretism and paganism in religious practices—emphasizes Christianity as exclusively faith in Jesus Christ and the finished work on the cross," Joseph Dele Tunji said of his work. "African traditional religion is an organized religion, indigenous in nature, and unique in structure. It combines African tradition and religion. Thus, it becomes difficult for Africans, not to demonstrate some traits of rooted African traditional religion in their practice of Christianity."

Published by Page Publishing, Joseph Dele Tunji asks readers to return to the origins of European-Based Christianity in Africa, through the return of freed former slaves who chose to keep the forced religion of their servitude upon settling in Western Africa. While there are instances of willing acceptance and conversion to Christianity, the author addresses Nigeria and other such countries whose populations were converted through the force of European Colonizers. The work breaks down the religious structures of African and diasporic Christianity and discovers that despite being coerced into subverting the blatant nature of their traditional origins, certain practices survived.

To learn more about this, readers can purchase "Unspoken: Exposing the Silent Yet Critical Influence of African Traditional Religion on Christianity" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
