In this extended lecture from Jude 3 Project's Engaging African Spirituality course, Anglican priest Justice Okoronkwo breaks down the history, worldview, cosmology, misconceptions, and modern expressions of African traditional religion—and explains where it both overlaps with and clashes with the Christian faith.

This talk explores:
• What African spirituality really is (beyond stereotypes)
• How African spirituality has been commonly perceived (truth vs misconceptions)
• The spiritual worldview that shapes African cosmology
• How Christianity addresses the deepest questions African spirituality raises
• The tension points between African spirituality & Christianity
• How Christians can thoughtfully reach and engage those who practice African spiritual religions

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of culture, tradition, faith, ancestors, or decolonization, this course will give you clarity, depth, and a biblical framework for understanding African spirituality through a truthful lens.
