The principal pre-occupation of this chapter is to address the thesis of the second wave of scholarship concerning the appropriate concept for describing ATRs. Okot p’Bitek is the foremost critique of the first wave of scholars as he criticises them for their imposition of Western doctrines and methods for talking about ATRs. As p’Bitek calls for a thorough and profound engagement with the Afro-religious practices by visiting shrines and learning directly from the priests and documented or oral sources, some scholars took him seriously. Curiously, Adebowale Akintola, ‘Tade Adegbindin, John Bewaji, Ademola Fayemi, Motsamai Molefe, Thaddeus Metz, Emmanuel Ofuasia, Kirk Lougheed, and Ada Agada are some of those who ventured critically into ATRs as suggested by p’Bitek. Incidentally, their results differ. When some continuously uphold the doctrine of modified monotheism, others arrive at the limited-God thesis, which again shows profound ways for talking about ATRs. Upon a careful analysis, although most of the second wave scholars show improvements over those classed as the first wave, their failure to provide a metaphysical foundation that can accommodate a limited-God without compromising p’Bitek’s admonition to keep track with tradition. This flaw in their analyses accounts for the emergence of a third wave which I uncover in the second part of this book.
