Hello Good People!

My new co-edited volume, “Vodou and Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue” is now available on Amazon to order. This is the first book in the English language that attempts to foster interreligious dialogue between Haiti’s two dominant religions. It will not be the first one.

Get it as your Christmas present and get a copy for your friends as well!

Author copies of my new book just arrived!

I am so happy this book is finally out. I’ve worked so hard on this book. In the process, God has been so gracious to me to grant me both physical and intellectual energy to complete this enormous task. Not only have I served as the book’s general editor; I translated three chapters ( 2, 6, 9) in English that were originally written in French. The book has ten chapters. I also contributed a chapter (chapter 10) to the book. In addition, I translated from French the foreword written by the renowned French religious scholar Philippe Martin. (This is not a complaint. I am not afraid to work hard. I am grateful to my amazing coeditors and the brilliant contributors as well as those who have endorsed the book.)

It was all a labor of love. I want both committed Vodouyizan and Christians to live in peace and harmony in Haiti and beyond Haiti, and my desire is for both groups to learn how to be tolerant and respectful toward each other. My prayers is that both committed Vodouyizan and Christians would use religion as a force for nation-building and a resource to maximize democracy in Haiti and its diaspora.
