Worship is a reality in different religious contexts. It moves beyond the physical to the spiritual. Moreover, the scholars of religion have also tried to reconcile the one whom worship is directed to in various religions under the concept of “God” in religion. This paper followed harmonisations of the concept of God, which is termed to be the same for all religions by some and termed to different by others. So, it is necessary to use an evangelical Christian theological basis to evaluate the understanding of “God” in two major religions on the soil of Africa. This paper, therefore, introduces the topic, discusses the concept of God in African Traditional Religion, and explains the concept of God in Islam. Also, it critically and theologically evaluates the two worldviews through the lens of an African Christian theologian from an evangelical perspective. This study concludes that several characteristics such as love, Trinity and freewill concerning human beings differentiate God in Christianity from God in Islam and African Traditional Religion.
