ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author discusses the necessity for Christian scholars to respond to the critiques of African literary scholars, by first seeking to understand the core concerns in their writings. The author discusses the fiction of Wole Soyinka, a representative voice for those mission-educated Africans who some would argue might have turned their backs to Christianity. The author also revisits Mugambi’s Critiques of Christianity in African Literature – With Particular Reference to the East African Context to stress the importance of a critical dialogue between Christian Scholars and cultural artists whose work offers challenges to the faith on the continent.
