It draws on content analysis of published work on Omega Bula on her journey as a Zambian woman theologian engaged in social and economic justice. Situated in the African theologies’ framework as characterised by a focus on social advocacy and doing service in the community, the chapter shows that Omega’s theological engagement was shaped by her historical, religio cultural, and economic context, which negatively affected people’s wellbeing, women, and the Earth. The chapter further shows that Omega’s theological journeys were centred on fostering a theology which she termed a theology of the promotion of an economy of life in which scripture, stories and experiences were used as empowering tools for justice. Her theology was, among other things, aimed at fostering a just economic system which dignified people (in a context where the free market system was based on domination and exploitation), working in solidarity with women within and outside the churches and promoting the church’s response to the call for justice in the economy and the Earth in concrete ways. As such, her theology addressed capitalism, patriarchy, the environmental crisis, and other related social factors in practical ways and contributed to generating liberative theologies. The chapter contributes to the development of an African feminist liberative histography in Southern Africa from the Zambian context by drawing practical lessons for women to theologise in the spaces where they live and work to contribute to the liberation of their communities and beyond.engLiberation theologytheological journeysocial and economic justiceZambia, and Omega Bula230bookpart
