This book uses the common saying in Africa, “suffering and smiling” popularized by the Afrobeat musician, Fela, as a framework for doing theology, or rather for telling the story of popular theodicy in Africa. How are everyday Africans ‘coping’ with life in a continent where faith is growing while poverty is also increasing. I seek in this work so demonstrate the intelligibility and rationality of Christian religious faith in Africa through the lived faith and actual faith of African Christians. I attempt in this work to bring together knowing God on one hand and applying this knowledge to responding to the daily challenges and opportunities of life in Africa in an authentic, credible, faithful and fruitful way.
