Abstract:
This chapter engages and analyses the African post-colonial framed theological writings of Rose Mary Amenga-Etego as one of the matriarchs of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. The study aims at examining and celebrating the contributions of these African Women theologians to scholarship on African Liberation theologies. Examining her own words, as quoted in the title of this chapter (Amenga-Etego, 2006:42), the analysis sought to understand her constructive theological engagement with the questions and concerns rising in contemporary Africa, and the place of theology in responding to those questions for the greater good of Africa, specifically, in the Ghanaian context. The paper, therefore, sought to do this from three main methodological lenses; the sources/context, distinctiveness, and purpose of which she theologizes. These methodological lenses help to conceptualize her theological vision, which outlines her strategic theological contributions to scholarship. Therefore, this chapter depicts her thought on socio-cultural matters, drawing the attention of not only gov- ernmental and traditional institutions but also academia and the church
