Выявляются основные этапы исследований и их специфика, описывается вклад наиболее важных и оригинальных авторов. При анализе истории исследований религий африканского континента автор использует трехчастный подход, который ориентируется на предмет изучения: исследования традиционных африканских религий, исследования христианства и исследования ислама. Хотя такой подход является упрощенным, он, тем не менее, лучше всего позволяет представить относительно целостную картину истории различных конфессии в Африке. Автор приходит к выводу, что основной интерес в историографии проявлялся и проявляется к изучению истории христианства на Черном континенте, именно в этой области был достигнут самый значительный прогресс. В последние десятилетия также были достигнуты значительные успехи в изучении традиционных африканских религий. В то же время прогресс в изучении истории ислама в Африке приходится признать довольно скромным, несмотря на ряд важных достижений и расширение исследовательского поля. Автор также делает попытку определить вклад в исследование истории африканских религий не только западных, но и африканских ученых, что особенно важно в связи с интенсификацией споров о необходимости «африканизации» исследований африканских религий. Автор отмечает опасность политизации и идеологизации религиозных исследований на Черном континенте, превращения их в инструмент либо национализма, либо религиозного фундаментализма, что делает особенно актуальным развитие академического диалога между учеными-африканцами и учеными из других стран.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article considers the main directions of studying the religious history of Africa from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century. It shows the stages of research and the major contributions. When analyzing the historiography of religions on the continent, the author focuses on the three groups of research: studies of tradition‑ al African religions, studies of Christianity and studies of Islam. This seemingly simplistic approach allows a relatively coherent description of the history of various denominations on the Black continent. The researchers were primarily interested in the history of Christianity, and it is in this area that the most significant progress has been made. In recent decades, notable advances have also been made in the study of traditional African religions. The studies in the history of Islam in Africa, however, have been less advanced, despite a number of important findings and new research directions. The author attempts to identify the contributions by both Western and African scholars, in the context of recently intensified debates about the need for “Africanization” of African religious studies. He points out the danger of politicization and ideologization of religious studies on the Black continent, turning them into an instrument of either nationalism or religious fundamentalism. This makes the development of academic dialogue between African scholars and researchers from other countries especially relevant.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>история</kwd><kwd>религии</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>историография</kwd><kwd>христианство</kwd><kwd>ислам</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>history</kwd><kwd>religions</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>historiography</kwd><kwd>Christianity</kwd><kwd>Islam</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Adogame, A.
