Indigenization definition

Indigenization on the other hand means the exact thing as enculturation, but indigenization is meant to stress the incarnational aspect (Gray & Coates, 2016). The idea or principle that is connected with Christology shows that to redeem mankind, Jesus became human in the same vein; for Christianity to reach the soul of the African, it must be African. In other words, for Christianity to acquire the forms, characteristics, and possession of African spirituality, it must grow or develop within the environment of African (Olufu & Offiong, 2017). “Enculturation” shows the relationship between Christianity and African Traditional Religion, an encounter between two strong cultures. Since Christianity comes from another culture to Africa, it is demanded that it grow within the African culture to become truly African. This transformation process must take place for Christianity to be made the same as the African Cultural background (Ahlberg, 1994). The spirituality of Africa, which is rooted in and strongly influenced by the traditional religions of Africa, had existed long before the advent of Islam and Christianity. It should also be noted that African religion from the time past is twisted together with experiences, history, and cultures of the African peoples. This was what prepared the reception ground for both Christianity and Islam.
