Abstract
‘A Tribal God for a Tribal People’ is a search for a tribal image of God in the Bible. This chapter shows that there is a big difference between the idea of God (as perfect, infallible and immutable) inherited from Western missionaries and theologians and the notion of God that emerges when the creation narratives of Genesis and the prologue of John's Gospel are read from a tribal perspective (as selfish, impulsive and less than perfect). Discovering a tribal God in the Bible requires readers to unlearn the Western viewpoint and push their imagination to extremes. The chapter does this by weaving the texts of Genesis and John together with tribal myths and religious beliefs.
