Book Cover & Preview Text
This discussion of African theology and philosophy looks into how those on the African continent understand God and their native religions. African religions before missionaries arrived followed a philosophy that every human being is an agent, but each religion had its own idea of this philosophy, and the ancestors of modern African people expressed it differently whether they followed one God or many gods. This book seeks a solution to development not just from the perspective of Christianity but also from those of the many other religions mentioned in this book, showing that no single religion is better than any other, as a solution for development can come from many places.

About the Book
This book, African Inter-religious Dialogue: Philosophy and Theology, my fifth, discusses many issues concerning African theology so Africans may understand their roots and consider them first. It discusses in depth philosophical aspects of African religion and the challenges that religious philosophy faces. In particular, this book discusses why many Africans leave their ancestral religion for other religions. Through an analysis of many religions in Africa, I have discovered that as a result of colonialism, many religions oppose each other even if they have the same structures, and that this has brought about religious and political conflict among followers of these religions. Therefore, my research and analysis seeks to expose the importance of dialogue between religions in Africa to bring about understanding among their followers. In the public sphere, religions should have an impact on the African countries in which they’re practised, and to do so, governments should authorise religions to take part in the political discourse.
