The work sets up critical dialogue between the Lutheran theologian Eberhard Jüngel's Trinitarian doctrine of 'the humanity of God' and the naming of God in African theology of inculturation evidenced in the doyens of African literature, African religions, and African theology." —James Chukwuma Okoye, C.S.Sp., author of Genesis 12–50: A Narrative-Theological Commentary
