Event Recording HTML Abstract The development of the study of African Religions and World Christianity has been intertwined in the School of Divinity. The lecture explores the history of this development, and the tensions inherent in its entangled nature. It discusses some current trends that impact the subject area. From examples of public and blended religious practices in East Africa the lecture proposes that entanglement - the intercrossing of cultures and the intertwining of debates about religion and theology – remains useful for the historic and ethnographic study of religion.
