It goes without say that an authentic African Christology emanates from a theology from below then it is augmented by a theology from above. It is a Christology that is pragmatic and has gumption and capacity to deal with the physical as well as the spiritual dynamics of the problems of Africans without disparaging the fact that most of the problem had a spiritual ramification or causation and that evil spirits were critical in the physical problems of Africans. As a result the Africans Christologies must of necessity view Jesus as the savior with power and redeemer from evil forces. He is also a mediator and intermediary with God. He is a healer. The truth is that none of this metaphors in the African worldview captures the reality of the African expectation of the reality of Jesus Christ as the supra Ancestor. Benezet Bujo an eminent African theologian in his Magnus opus African theology in its social context succinctly captured this truth when he assert that we a scribe to Jesus the tittles of Jesus of “Ancestor par Excellent “or “Proto-Ancestor” ,this image he asserts that is entry point and the launching pad of doing Africa Christology.
