Iwe Adura Yoruba [tr. By S.a. Crowther And T. King]

Iwe Adura Yoruba is a historically significant translation of the Anglican Prayer Book into the Yoruba language. Translated by Samuel Ajayi Crowther and T. King, this edition represents an important milestone in the dissemination of Christian texts within the Yoruba-speaking communities of West Africa. This version of the prayer book preserves the liturgical traditions of the Anglican Church while making them accessible to a new audience. It serves as both a religious text and a valuable resource for understanding the linguistic and cultural landscape of 19th-century Nigeria.

The book's enduring appeal lies in its contribution to the indigenization of Christianity and its preservation of the Yoruba language. For researchers, historians, and those interested in religious studies, linguistics, and African history, Iwe Adura Yoruba offers a unique window into the intersection of faith, language, and culture.
