African Proverbs Reveal Christianity in Culture by W. Jay Moon PDF Summary

Book Description: In many oral cultures local proverbs are highly regarded for their wisdom and prized for their aesthetic expression. In this study Jay Moon provides an in-depth look at the use of local proverbs among the Builsa culture of Ghana, West Africa.
