Soko-de Jong, ThandiThandiSoko-de Jong2025-02-132025-02-132025978-3-98989-042-8https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/106043Ezra Chitando plays a vital role in advocating for greater recognition of the academic contributions of African women theologians. This chapter has employed the methodology of document analysis to highlight and examine Chitando’s advocacy, particularly his critique of male dominance in academic theology and church leadership. Thus, this chapter has discussed, for example, his support of the concept of her stories, which places a strong emphasis on the perspectives, experiences, and agency of women in scholarly writing and research. The findings of this chapter show that Chitando’s commitment extends to both the content of his scholarly work and his practical approach, wherein he positions himself as an ally of African women theologians rather than an advocate on their behalf. It follows, therefore, that his literature cited in this chapter has been co authored with African women theologians. The chapter has demonstrated Chitando’s leadership in advocating for increased engagement with the accomplishments and contribution of African women theologians.engAfrican women theologianstheologies in AfricaEzra Chitando230bookpart
