 INTRODUCTION
Westermann had said of West Africans in his Africa and Christianity (Oxford University Press, 1937) that they "acknowledge [the Supreme Being] but neither fear nor love nor serve him, the feeling towards him being, at the highest, that of dim awe or reverence".
It is not the case, however, that Danquah approaches the works of Rattray and Westermann in a caviling spirit; in fact, he is generously appreciative of what he takes to be their positive insights.
Indeed, shorn of the supercilious spirit in which it was made, the content of Westermann's last quoted remark suggests that, perhaps, he dimly espied an important truth about Ghanaian thinking on the foundations of morals.

 A Note About Nuer Studies
Moreover, there are several publications which either are linguistic treatments of Nuer, pedagogical materials, or Biblical translations (Westermann 1912; Stigand 1923; Rejaf Language Conference 1928; Huffman 1929; Huffman 1931; Crazzolara 1933; Kiggen 1948; Roy, Vandevort, and Robb 1968; Puoc, Deeng, and Kulan 1994; Yigezu 1995; Lester et al.
