Nigeria is a multi-religious country where African Indigenous Religion, Islam, and Christianity coexist in large scale, leading to inter-religious conflicts. While Islam and Christianity are textual oriented, African Indigenous Religion is not. The study of sacred texts, their variants, and how they impact the lived experience of religion (religious adherents/religious people) have been acknowledged by scholars. Hence, scholars have shown in previous literature the role of religious texts in the formation of organised religions but are still paying less attention to how the texts can be read extra-denominationally to meet the peacebuilding need of the society, considering Nigeria as reference point. While scholars have pointed out the relevance of sacred texts in the formation of religion as well as the social-cultural world of the practitioner, and the rich contextual textual criticism that discusses sacred text and their world mostly from a denominational point of view, this chapter aims to look at the interpretation of religious texts from a trans-denominational perspective, especially how it influences contemporary heterogeneous religious societies by using Nigeria as a case study. How may Islamic and Christian texts, in addition to the cultural values that pervade indigenous religions of the Nigerian people reflect peaceful disposition, and how may they be harnessed for peaceful coexistence?
