| 520 | |a Despite the rapid proliferation and entrenchment of Christianity in Ghana during the twentieth century, indigenous religious beliefs and practices have continued to exercise a profound influence on many Ghanaians, including large numbers of those who profess the Christian faith. Among the most widespread of these phenomena are a commitment to the reality of ancestral spirits and the necessity of appeasing them through, inter alia, the pouring of libations. Recent scholarship has cast light on both this persistence and changes in attendant funeral rituals. In his internationally acclaimed novel of 1966, Ordained by the Oracle, the Ghanaian littérateur S.A. Konadu critically examines the abuse of these traditions and their inadequacies as means of coping with grief. | ||
