The author examines those features of both religions which seem similar at Bafodea, as well as the processes of religious change involved in both cases. The differences in influence of these two great religions on Bafodea life and culture. The beliefs and the behavior associated with the ideas of balance, autonomy and openness. (DÜI-Ott) |
