Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of presenting Jesus in Africa by proposing a Christology rooted in African culture. Following the thought of Enyi Ben Udoh, the author advocates a Christology anchored on understanding and presenting the figure of Jesus as guest, host, and meal in a manner that is faithful both to African culture as well as to Scripture and tradition. It demonstrates how inculturation can make Christology more meaningful and relevant. Ultimately, it offers a model for doing theology that is both authentically Christian and deeply rooted in local culture.
