Book excerpt: "In this book we are calling for a dialogue that has yet to fully take place. We appeal for a genuine encounter between the tenets of age-old African Traditional Religion and the truth of the scriptures. What the early missionaries brought to our shores never engaged adequately with the long-established spiritual perspectives of Africa. Regrettably, Jesus Christ was always presented as the answer to questions outsiders were asking. Hardly anyone was asking what Jesus Christ might look like if he were to answer the questions burning on the African mind. But those are the questions we must answer in our own day. This book was written to move us in the right direction and will give us guidance on how to do it."
