The concept of God is presented differently in the cultural philosophies of African peoples. Significant differences further emerge when non-African conceptions are considered. This chapter discusses the concept of God from Akan philosophical perspective where belief in God (Onyankopɔn) is held within a monotheistic and humanistic framework. This belief questions the tendency to ascribe monotheism narrowly to institutionalized religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These religions have revealed scriptures in which the identity of, and need to believe in, one God are proclaimed, serving as primary sources of evidence for monotheism itself. Even though no such scriptures exist in Akan religion, I argue that God’s identity can still be established from credible, philosophically viable religious resources that exist in Akan culture. And that, Akan monotheism is both rational and experiential. While acknowledging the supreme qualities of Onyankopɔn, I caution against the thinking that the body of divine attributes held in Judaism, Christianity and Islam extend wholly to Akan Onyankopɔn. I advance, finally, that not all such attributes are necessary for a proper conception of monotheism.
