There is hardly any doubt that the practice and study of African Traditional Religion have generated significant interest globally. Such interest is clearly traceable to the importance of religion as the “barometer” of the African spiritual and cultural hegemonies that have shaped the fundamental identities of African ethnic groups and societies both on the continent and in the Diaspora. Unfortunately, the high levels of interest have not been matched with the same levels of recognition, acceptance, or even respect for the religion as a competing partner in the global religious space—both as an “authentic” practicing religion and as a theologically grounded faith worthy of adherence and serious intellectual or academic engagements.
