African liberation theologies : expressions of a decentred and embodied postcolonial christianity

Includes bibliographical references. / This thesis aims at analysing how African liberation theologies can be seen as expressing the ideas of postcolonial .theory and hence producing a decentred and embodied form of Christianity in the postcolonial context. Of course, today debate goes on as to whether or not African liberation theologies have largely died out as a theological tradition in these first years of the twenty-first century. Because of space-constraints, this is one question that I hope to pursue in another work later. However, in this thesis my only aim is to argue that African liberation theologies can be seen as expressing the ideas of postcolonial theory and hence producing a decentred and embodied form of Christianity in the postcolonial context. But before analysing, let us have a good grasp of our context of discussion.
