According to<br \/>\nstatistics, it is the most widespread religion in contemporary Africa: about half of the continent\u2018s<br \/>\nentire population professes it \u2013 in sub-Saharan Africa it is almost 60% of the population. However,<br \/>\nthis statement needs to be supplemented, clarified and the real reality of African Christianity \u2013 and<br \/>\nreligious life in general \u2013 presented. This is the content of this article. The main aim of the article<br \/>\nis to look at the story of African Christianity in the basic outlines, to emphasize its specifics and to<br \/>\npoint out three \u2013 not two, as it is often abbreviated \u2013 phases of the continent\u2018s Christianization.<br \/>\nRelated to this is the clarification and explanation of the African specificity with regard to statistics.<br \/>\nAnother goal is to draw attention to selected unique syncretisms of Christianity and the original<br \/>\nAfrican religions \u2013 some within the boundaries of orthodoxy, but others outside them. The topic is<br \/>\nelaborated by the method of own field research, which took place in Africa between 2001 and 2019<br \/>\nin a total length of three years, supported by a comparison of relevant literature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> African Christianity, Christianization, African theology, Syncretism, Africa<\/p>\n<p>THEOLOGICAL REVIEW, Vol. 92, 2021, No. 3, Number of Article 5, p. 292 \u2013 310.<br \/>\n<strong>DOI:<\/strong> 10.14712\/12117617.92.3.5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OND\u0158EJ HAVELKA KATOLICK\u00c1 TEOLOGICK\u00c1 FAKULTA UNIVERZITY KARLOVY CATOLIC THEOLOGICAL FACULTY OF CHARLES UNIVERSITY PDF CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA: THE THREE PHASES OF CHRISTIANIZATION AND THE SPECIFICS OF AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY Abstract: African Christianity stands on a solid tradition of two thousand years.
