Early African scholarships from J. B. Danquah (1895-1965) in Ghana and J. Olumide Lucas (in Nigeria) in the first half of the 20th century conducted interesting studies of indigenous African religions. In the 1940s, Africans entered academic discourse on indigenous religion in Africa. For example, John Mbiti from Kenya is the most prolific African scholar who questioned the European centralizationism that Africans do not have the concept of the highest God. Mbiti 's work stimulated a lot of research on African religious gods.

Many scholars in various fields are conducting religious studies in Africa. Major academic research on African traditional religion began late. In the 14th century, "outsiders" began exploring the essence of African culture and religion. Muslims and European colonial merchants, travelers, slaves, missionaries, military personnel, mercenaries and administrators frequently record simple descriptions of African cultural practices, traditions and religion. Their inquiries are prejudiced, but some outsiders are more reliable than others.

Unlike other religions, the founders did not start the traditional African religion. According to Kenyan theologian John Muvy, "African traditional religion has experienced slow evolution for centuries." Africans deal with most of the conditions and experiences of geographic environment according to their religious beliefs. Earthquakes, thunderstorms, diseases and major historical events have shaped their religious beliefs. Red Emperor

The problem is not that the other 'religion' talks very little about the very important issues for Christianity, but to regard himself as a religion just as Christianity regards itself as a religion Even you can not.
