It has been described as the Theology of African Traditional Religion or African version of Christian Theology. Each view has had its own strong supporters and has been projected to imply African ideas. In this paper, the present writer would uphold African Theology to mean and represent the theological expression of the Traditional African Religion which is the modern version of the religion of the ancestral founding fathers of the communities. The ethics also relate to the same religious faith of the ancestors. Christian theology is yet to be made African both in its ontological existence and expression by African indigenous Christians. Sad enough, many African Christians have no Christology in their vernacular and cannot think of God and Jesus in their local language"engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)ethicstheologyAfrican TheologyAfrican Traditional ReligionReligious ethicsCommunity ethicsEthnicity and ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesAfrican theologiesHumanistic basis for African traditional religious theology and ethicsArticle
