Liberation or Reconstruction: a critical survey on the relevance of Black theology in light of the emergence of Reconstruction theology
(University of the Western Cape, 2010) Solomons, Demaine Jason; Engdahl, Hans; Dept. of Religion and Theology; Faculty of Arts
The purpose of this investigation is to discuss the relevance of Black theology in light of the emergence of reconstruction theology. It offers a critical survey of a range of contributions on this issue, questioning whether scholars who have used Black theology as a form of self description should shift emphasis, from the paradigm of liberation to reconstruction. The significance of this study has to be understood within the context of the proposal to redirect African theological initiatives from liberation theologies to reconstruction theology. The basis for this call was the end of apartheid in South Africa, which signalled the independence of all countries on the African continent.
