Of Theological Burglaries and Epistemic Violence
The purpose of this article is to explore how the historical roots of Black and other liberation theologies are undermined through the usurping of the vocabulary of decolonial language. Through a critical discourse analysis of a selected publication, we demonstrate how the foregrounding of perspectives , the trivializing of positionality and power, and the privileges accrued by proximity result in the plunder and proprietorship of decolonial arch…
The Ecumenical Factor in African Theology and Ecclesiology
In addition to the continental and national councils of churches and ecumenical theological institutions, Black and African theologies are some of the most ecumenical initiatives in Africa. This article explores the ecumenical factor in the emergence and the continued flourishing of Black and African theologies. Notably, these theologies have, from their earliest days, endeavoured to include indigenous religions and cultures as well as environmen…
Currents and Cross-Currents on the Black and African Theology Landscape Today
This article attempts to lift up the salient, latest most cutting edge currents and cross currents in black and Africantheologies on the continent and in the diaspora. As well as proposing an analytical framework, the article articulates the key challengesfacing black and African theologies today
The Liberating Humour of Desmond Tutu
Focusing on the humanizing humour of Desmond Tutu, this article explores the ways in which oppressed people employed (Christian) humour – amid the most difficult living conditions – during the South African struggle against the apartheid system. For comparative purposes and in order to place Desmond Tutu alongside fellow anti‐apartheid leaders as well as within the societal milieu within which they all worked, we also briefly consider the use of …
Why I Am Not a Public Theologian
Insofar as public theology is one of several contextual theologies in the world that is focused on and limited to specific contexts, its raison d’être may be understandable. But we argue that if or since public theology has ambitions to become a totalizing and global theological methodology – a ready‐made frame to be adapted to and adopted in various contexts – we shall, in this article, unmask and interrogate the unspoken imperial ambitions of g…
Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Life and Work of Desmond Tutu
This article explores how mission, forgiveness, and reconciliation have shaped the ministry and work of Desmond Tutu. As much as space permits, it tries to glean the ways in which Tutu has lived out his understanding of mission, forgiveness, and reconciliation in his various roles as lecturer of theology, as Africa director of the Theological Education Fund of the World Council of Churches, as the general secretary of the South African Council of…
Racism en Route
This article argues that in Africa, the nature and advent of racism has to be traced back to the earliest encounters between Africans and Europeans, including the first seven centuries but especially during the slavery and colonial eras. Religion (notably Islam and Christianity), trade, education, culture, and “science” were important incubators and justifiers of racism, in earlier as well as recent times. The paper concludes by proposing some wa…
Robert S. Heaney, From Historical to Critical Post-Colonial Theology
Reflections and Resources
Originally written as a response to the first of two papers presented by William Storrar at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, this article presents a critical response to public theology from a post-colonial perspective. It contends that public theology is trapped in an attempt to universalize concepts, similar to earlier forms of theology, and does not take developing world theologies seriously. It is post-coloniality, rather than postmo…
Justice in post-apartheid South Africa
Justice in post-apartheid South Africa: Towards a Theology of RestitutionHaving dabbled with the metaphors of liberation, reconstruction and reconciliation, the time may have come for (South) African prophetic theology to seriously consider the metaphor of restitution. In this essay, the author outlines the contours of a theology of restitution. The starting point is the existing but mostly unspoken theologies for and against various forms of res…

Identity and Integrity in African Theology a Critical Analysis
This article was born out of a paper the author read at the bi-annual meeting of ATIEA (Association of Theological Institutions in East Africa) held April 2000 in Arusha, Tanzania. In it, the author traces the roots and aspects of African Theology wrestling with issues of identity. In doing this, reference is made to the nascent stages in the development of African Theology and to the birth of the philosophy of Pan-Afrcanism. In conclusion, the a…
The Crucified Reflected in Africa's Cross-Bearers
In this article, given as a keynote address at the Tenth International Congress of IAMS in Hammaskraal, South Africa, South African theologian Tinyiko Maluleke attempts to paint a rough picture of popular African Christology in the light of the Conference theme: "Reflecting Jesus Christ: Crucified and Living in a Broken World." He first notes that grass-root African Christianity harbors a dialectic of identification and non-identification with th…
Black and African Theology After Apartheid and After the Cold War - an Emerging Paradigm
BLACK AND AFRICAN THEOLOGY AFTER APARTHEID AND AFTER THE COLD WAR - AN EMERGING PARADIGM Tinyiko Sam Maluleke 1. Introduction The twenty year period (1980 - 2000) during which I have learnt, practised and taught theology has been one of change and transition. It is an era in which the demise of Apartheid was accelerated, culminating in the installa- tion of Nelson Mandela as South Africa's first democratically elected president to head the first …
African Traditional Religions in Christian Mission and Christian Scholarship
In this essay I wish to argue that denial, outright dismissal, distortion and dismissive containment have been and continue to be aptly descriptive of the manner in which Christian mission and Christian scholarship have related to and dealt with African Traditional Religions (ATRs). This, I want to further suggest, has been as true of the South African situation as it has been true of the rest of the continent. Although most prevalent during the …
African culture, African intellectuals and the white academy in South Africa - some implications for Christian theology in Africa
Attitudes towards African culture are central to the crisis of African intellectuals. This crisis is manifest in the issues of African identity, black self-love, black poverty, the stranglehold of the Western academy and white racism. For the debilitating aspects of the crisis to be converted to our advantage, African intellectuals must reconnect to African culture. However, such a reconnection must include not only an analysis and problematisati…
