Zusammenfassung:This article intends to explore the impact of the death ofGod theology in Africa, particularly among the Christianized Africans. The author raises a fundamental question whether an African who is Christianized can make the same claim that some American and European Christians have made that God is dead. In order to test this claim, I have used the conception of God among the Agikuyu of Kenya and compared that conception with the Christian conception of God. I have done this by first discussing briefly what the death of God theology is. I say briefly because the literature on the death of God theology is so immense that it cannot be covered in an article of this size.
