This publication exposes the frequently neglected contributions and endeavours of women, both lay and religious, particularly when women themselves partake in scholarly research and document their roles in tackling challenges within the social and ecclesiastical communities across the African continent. It advocates for a culture of informed public discourse concerning women’s capabilities, contributions, and aspirations. The chapters contained within this anthology emphasise fair treatment of women, sincere acknowledgement of their dignity, recognition of their societal contributions, and the deliberate use of their talents and resources for leadership and ministries in the Church and society.
Moreover, the various chapters clearly demonstrate that African Women Theologians now envisage new directions for an action-oriented theological discourse. Their approach encourages highly experienced African women theologians to engage with emerging women theologians. Together, they aim to raise and explore critical questions, discern new paths for the Church and society, and effectively articulate salvific options. At the end of the analysis, this collection exposes what doing theology means for African women: the willingness to listen and learn from each other in order to create a shared space large enough to address faith, ethical, and social issues through sincere and respectful conversations.
