Abstract
African Traditional Religion, it hardly needs pointing out, is part of the religious heritage of humankind. Born out of the experience and deep reflection of our African forebears, it provides answers to the stirrings of the human spirit and elaborates on the profundity of the experience of the divine-human encounter based on the resources of Africa’s own cultural heritage and insight. It also provides answers to the ultimate questions posed by men and women in Africa, gives meaning and significance to human life, explains the origin and destiny of human beings, how everything in the world came into being and the relationship that should exist between them. In short, it is Africa’s own way of coming to terms with Reality.
