Between Faith and Social Activism: Essays in Honour of Fr. George Ehusani Taiwo Abioye

This book traverses spiritual, psychological, philosophical, political, linguistic and musical discourses, to honour a priest, a social activist and a cerebral scholar, whose fidelity to his sacred calling over the last four decades has found expression in these diverse spheres of the human enterprise. It is an indispensable text and will remain an invaluable classic for social scientists, politicians, religious leaders, media workers, social activists, leadership students and sundry researchers on the Nigerian project, for years to come.
