dc.description.abstractThe Western missionary approach to African Christianity was generally done in such a way that African culture and way of life were somewhat denigrated and negated In this approach, missionary Christianity did not develop a relevant theological and musicological link between African traditional religions and cultures and the Christian Gospel. Hence, Western missionaries failed to develop a relevant Biblical theology of African religions, cultures and society. This then made African theologians and scholars reacted and responded to these apparent failures and weaknesses of the missionary approach and legacy by developing their own African Biblical Theology. A theology that is indigenous to Africa, is the one said to have been produced using African thoight, religion and cultural categories. It is a theology produced within context, which reject the richness of the pre- Christian African heritage. This paper therefore made an attempt at examining the challenges facing the 2 r century African Theologians with the view to recommend how best to acculturate the Christian message in an acceptable way for African Christians.en_US
