This volume explores the compatibility of God's existence with evil and suffering from the perspective of African belief systems. It reveals a widespread agreement among African traditions in their belief in a God with diverse attributes, including being a creator and a powerful being. The dominant belief is that evil and suffering can coexist with God's existence, ultimately resolving the problem of evil. Instead, evil is often attributed to human actions, such as witchcraft, and to malevolent spirits. This perspective represents a significant departure from mainstream Western philosophy of religion, which argues for the incompatibility between God and evil.
