Introduction to African Religion

  • Posted by African History Project
  • Categories Public Lectures
  • Date 8 June 2021

In this lecture and conversation, we travel through the pillars of African religion, exploring its philosophies, theologies and cosmologies to understand how Africans understand and relate to the divine and the spiritual. 

As the origin of humanity, Africa was the site of the first religion thus African religious concepts are the oldest in human history. Cosmology, the search for the meaning of life, the development of a system of ethics, and our first entries into conversation with the divine, all began and endure in African religion. The importance of the place of African religion to our understanding of what it means to be human, to be conscious, to be agents in the particular iteration of the space-time continuum we find ourselves in, cannot be understated.
