Studies on Christology in contemporary Africa have been so far centred around the titles
Liberator Healer Ancestor Immanuel Nganga and so on. Cast in such local categories Christ
is presented as fulfilling all cultures. Christ the African King one such effort presents a
fascinating ethnographical description of four African most celebrated traditional kingships.
Ethno-historical data for biblical studies are uncovered. With the multi-disciplinary approach
the sketched African background furnishes the raw material for the elaboration of King
Christology which has serious implications on liturgy the ecclesial community and the African
socio-political arena. The work is thus a cross-cultural presentation of NT theology in harmony
with Africa's royal heritage. It points up inter alia rich ideas for contextualization and
inculturation of Christianity in Africa.
