“These bones can rise” is the response of Reverend Dr. Dorothy BEA Akoto to the question “can these bones rise?” which was posed in Ezekiel 37:3. Her article “Can these bones rise? Re-reading Ezekiel 37:1-14 in the HIV/AIDS Context” clearly reflects her contextual feminist and liberation theology. Her research in Gender studies in the Bible relate to marriage, ministerial education, missions, poverty, rights/health of women and children, issues of masculinity, sexuality and HIV/AIDS, issues of race, class and what promotes justice and equity and reveals God’s dignity in everyone
created in God’s image regardless of their sexual orientation. This study analyzes and investigates the uniqueness of the works of Dorothy, BEA Akoto as an African woman and Biblical theologian who seeks to leave a legacy of theology of liberation.
