The Western conception of theology and hermeneutics has either been uncritically accepted or unreasonably repudiated in the contemporary African Theological discourse. This truth pervades and permeates every field of study related to theology and Biblical studies. Rudolph Bultmann’s existential Hermeneutics is not an exceptional to this reality. The term existentialism generates more heat than light. It evokes either uncritical embrace or blind rejection by the African Theologians. Consequently in a miniature the gist of this paper is to critically evaluate Bultmanns Existentialism hermeneutics with a view of integrating the positive attributes to enrich and inform the African perspective of Biblical Interpretation of 1 Samuel 28:3-28.
