dc.description.abstractNobody knows God fully and no one of us has seen him, but the Son himself. However, human beings from the beginning have had their experiences of the Supreme Being in various ways. In this essay, our main concern is to show how the Bakongo people conceive their God. Who he really is for them? The Almighty, the creator, the invisible and so forth. Some Bakongo riddles, sayings, stories, and proverbs will be studied to support this hypothesis. We would compare some elements of the Bakongo beliefs with Christian ones. The similarities can be incorporated in people's faith. The dissimilarities, that is, those which are not compatible with the Good News, will need to be purified. Our goal is to show that in every human culture (Bakongo in this case) we can find something that is compatible with the Good News and facilitate the process of Inculturation of peoples' faith. Beside the general introduction and conclusion our essay will consist of these following chapters: I. Clarifications of terms. 2. God's names. 3. Nzambi for the Bakongo. 4. God's Attributes. 5. God Bakongo in Social and Religious life 6. Eschatology. 7. The Bakongo Concept of God and the Christian Revelation.en_US
