About this book

Divinity and Experience: The Religion of the Dinka by Lienhardt, Godfrey. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198234050.

Originally published in 1961, this study of the religion of Southern Sudans Dinka people is now considered a minor classic of social anthropology. Lienhardt examines the complex meanings of divine imagery and relates these to the Dinkas experience of life and death. From the role of priests to the translation of hymns, prayers, and myths, Lienhardt provides an unparalleled analysis and interpretation of this people and their religion.
