Abstract:
The African world view is not monolithic or homogeneous.
However, that being the case, there is a strong metaphysical
and existential leaning in terms of Spirit and the world. The
Spirit is the medium whereby revelation occurs for all of
creation. African indigenous knowledge as episteme and
Black liberation theology as a paradigm have something
to teach outside Western dualism about the revelation of
God not being linear in form. The methodological aspect
of this research is a literature study aimed at discussing
transmission and reception of biblical discourse in Africa
by viewing differently the subject of God’s revelation
from a variety of sources. The article seeks to argue that
indigenous knowledge and, from the Black liberation
paradigm, conceptions of God reveal a God with a social
existence in contrast to a Western God who abdicates
creation when the majority of creation and her creatures
are oppressed by White supremacy.
