Abstrakt: The "African Philosophy of Religion and Western Monotheism" book review in the South African Journal of Philosophy discusses the collaborative work of Kirk Lougheed, Motsamai Molefe, and Thaddeus Metz. The authors explore African Traditional Religion (ATR) to offer insights into how it can contribute to debates in Western philosophy of religion. The book covers topics such as the nature of ATR, the existence of God, religious ethics, and the afterlife, aiming to foster cross-cultural dialogue with the Anglo-American tradition. While the book is well-written and insightful, some areas of improvement are noted, such as the need for a deeper study of specific African religious cultures and practices.
