Reseña del libro "Èṣù is Not Satan: Exploring the Indigenous Yorùbá Worldview (en Inglés)"

Among the Yorùbá and others who speak its language, a significant predicament has persisted since the colonial era and arrival of missionaries. Many people, essentially from the Abrahamic religions, either on purpose or not, have erroneously equated Èṣù, an Òrìṣà in Yorùbáland with Satan. As Chinua Achebe wisely said, "Until lions have their own historians, the sons of hunter will always write history to glorify their hunting."It is imperative to clarify that such an equation is fundamentally flawed. Hence, the primary purpose of this book is to discover our Yorùbánity-essence of being a Yoruba; explore and understand the Yorùbá indigenous practices and worldview; discern the person and true essence of Èṣù within Yorùbá Indigenous Religion and differentiate its identity from the concept of Satan in the Abrahamic religions. Perhaps many of your prayers are not answered because you have been praying amiss, addressing wrong entity. Embracing this knowledge would enable Yorùbá (whether Christian, Muslim or traditional adherents) to experience a harmonious coexistence of their cultural heritage and religious faith. Moreover, understanding the person of Èṣù will enrich the scriptural understanding of (Yorùbá) Christians and Muslims, empowering them to approach their faith with clarity, confidence, and reverence.
