| Résumé: | Religion is now very prominent in various academic literatures and the connection between religion and epistemic justice is a vital focal point in both social and academic discussions. Religious re-engineering is imperative ever than before to makereligion more valuable, relational, transformative and developmental for societal change. Unfortunately, religion and governance are being undermined by socio-political factors with grave implications for the Nigerian society. Peace-building, in recent times, has become herculean task and it seems that the Nigerian government is mesmerised by enigmatic challenges facing the country occasioned by social unrest.The phenomenological approach was used in this study to explore the imperativeness of appropriateperception of religion and its significance.Religious traditions and attitudes need to be more adaptive, contemporaneous, contextual and constructive without losing archetypical intent of respective Holy Writs.Achieving a conflation of religion and epistemic justice is the thrust of this paper. |
