This book discusses how four African women theologians - namely,
Mercy Oduyoye and Teresa Okure from West Africa, together with Anne
Nasimiyu and Teresia Hinga from East Africa - participate in the
inculturation debate. The scene has largely been set by two African
male theologians, namely, John Mbiti and John Pobee with the main
themes of Community and Christology respectively.The four women
theologians highlight a holistic perspective, thereby opening up
inculturation in African theology for critique and differentiation.
They examine African culture and demonstrate an understanding of
women as a distinct group with inherent varieties within this
category. Further, they incorporate the experience of West and East
African women in their perspective on inculturation thereby
analyzing women's subordination. They show a commitment to the
emancipation of women within the framework of inculturation.
Consequently, the four African women theologians' perspectives
contribute to gendering inculturation in Africa.
