Abstract:
Historically, in 1989, 69 African women gathered at Trinity Theological Seminary in Legon, Ghana. It was a launch of a transformative African female intelligentsia space with a quest to generate a theology that embraces and empowers all genders. Thus, the women from all religions and cultures were invited to enter the space of researching, reading, interpreting the cultural, scriptural texts with the purpose of interrogating and exposing oppressive aspects, as well as to generate liberating interpretations that affirm all members of the Earth Community. It is in this regard, that this chapter explores theological works, ideas, and perspectives produced by one of the female theologians namely; Isabel Mukonyora. The chapter demonstrates that Mukonyora’s theological works exposes the oppression during the colonial and post colonial period in Zimbabwe. It further provides the theology of liberation embedded in Mukonyora theological ideas, which is a theology that provides hope for redemption and one that tries to liberate the Shona people from the colonial hegemony and patriarchal thinking.
