In these contemporary times, Prothero in his seminal book God is Not One narrowed down major religions to these: Islam, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Yorùbá Religion, Judaism, Daoism, and Atheism. The Yorùbá religion that is referenced here is specifically Ifá and Òrìṣà worship, to which most Yorùbá globally subscribe, and such subscription is mostly oral. It is that oral transmission of knowledge and wisdom that forms the basis of our interrogation and attention in recognizing writers and scholars in contemporary times, who have been providing coherent documentation and pedagogy of the oral forms of Ifá and Òrìṣà worship as sacred texts. Such efforts are now contextualized and referenced as the Odù Ifá Literary Corpus.enYoruba Sacred TextContemporary PedagogyPedagogyArticle
