Abstract:
This chapter sets to unfold the contribution of Christina Landman as a Matriarch of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, affectionately known as “The Circle”. The chapter will analyse her theological works and perspectives, as well as her ecclesiastical participation, in the way it impacted on South African faith communities and academic spaces. As a scholar, a church historian, also a systematic theologian, and an ordained minister, Christina Landman has achieved a milestone that has shaped the way scholars are theologizing and how churches do ministry. As the first South African woman to become a professor in theology, she has trodden on the road less travelled and against all odds imprinted a mark in the South African soul and even beyond. This chapter employs the insights of oral history where the focus is not on the interviewer, but rather on the interviewee who does most of the talking with occasional questions from the interviewer to guide the directions as thought to be most productive. It also makes use of literature review to capture the richness and ethos of a legend’s sacrificial life which is well lived.
