This article undertakes a critical appraisal of contemporary African christological discourse. After an exposition of a sample of three contemporary African Christologies specifically looking at the interplay between African traditional religions (ATRs), experiences, societies, cultures, contexts and Christianity the essay evaluates from an evangelical understanding of the person of Jesus Christ, all the three dominant Christologies espoused in the essay. Recognising the influence of African traditional religions and cultures in the development of Christian theology, specifically Christology in Africa, the essay argues for a further continuation of African christological discourse, since the discourse itself is a form of dialogue between ATRs and Christianity. However, the essay suggests that reflections and constructions of Christology in Africa should be done in such a way that the person and work of Jesus Christ will not be misconstrued in African receptive cultures and contexts.
