Decolonizing Christianities in Nigerian Literature

Professor Adriaan van Klinken and Dr Emmanuel Ossai discuss the former's recent book, 'Decolonizing Christianities in Contemporary Nigerian Literature' (2025). Part of their discussion focuses on Chapter 5, titled ‘Spiritual Warfare: Christianity, Islam, and Interreligious Recognition’. In this chapter, Professor van Klinken shows that the literary texts he has considered ‘present a nuanced, multilayered depiction of Christian-Muslim relations in Nigeria’s northern region, and they complicate simplistic representations of interreligious relations and one-sided narratives about Islamic radicalization and violence. As much as they offer insight into Christian rhetoric of spiritual warfare against, and demonization of, Islam, their underlying quest is to promote interreligious understanding and coexistence’.
