The key terms of the topic are the two key words "authentic" and "witness" and this
chapter will be base on them. My intention is to investigate in this chapter the meaning of
authentic witness, beginning by defining and mentioning briefly on the separate words in
order to come to a concrete meaning of authentic. To deepen and support this meaning I will
also look into the Biblical and African understanding of authentic witness. This is in attempt
to answer the question What is an authentic witness? In this section I will like to give a brief
explanation of the meaning of authentic witness. Then at the end I will come with a
definition of authentic witness.
