From the 1960s onward, across Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and the wider Anglophone African world, John Mbiti, Kwame Bediako, Mercy Amba Oduyoye, and Lamin Sanneh wrote African Christianity into the theological imagination of the church as something received in African terms. Mbiti’s African Religions and Philosophy and Bediako’s Theology and Identity gathered a generation of African theologians into a conversation that continues from the Akrofi-Christaller Institute of Theology, Mission and Culture and other homes across the continent.
