Abstract "The Zion Christian Church is one of the largest churches in the African continent with footprints in other parts of the world. This book uses the ritual healing process to study the healing practices including music, prophecy, and social restrictions of the Zion Christian Church. This church is essential in understanding the healing practices within the broader context of the African Independent Churches. The book also uses decolonial theory to argue that the intersections of Indigenous African medicine and faith healing are relevant for the decolonisation of the knowledge system on faith healing"-- Provided by publisher.
