Abstract
Despite the widespread presence of the great world religions such as Christianity and Islam in Africa, the fact that the African Traditional Religion (ATR) still maintains its vitality and dynamism among Africans and influences the philosophy and life of a great part of African Christians and Muslims remains largely sustainable. This situation renders not only urgent but indispensable commitments and initiatives for dialogue with the African Traditional Religion. Starting from a reflection on the adequate understanding of ATR as well as its structure and content, this essay reflects on the opportunity of dialogue with this cultural reality. Drawing above all from the intuitions offered by Raimond Panikkar on interreligious dialogue in general, some perspectives are offered which will favor a more fruitful dialogue with African Traditional Religion.
