Panentheism and Concepts of God in African Traditional Religions

A Third-Wave Proposal
Book •
Emmanuel Ofuasia's Panentheism and Concepts of God in African Traditional Religions argues that panentheism—where God interpenetrates but also transcends the world—captures the character of many African divine conceptions.

The book takes a historical approach, engaging traditions and texts to show how an interrelated divine-world model aligns with indigenous metaphysics.

It critiques alternative readings and defends a third-wave panentheistic interpretation grounded in African philosophical and religious thought.

The work contributes to philosophy of religion and decolonial scholarship by situating African theologies within broader metaphysical debates.
