‘Kairos’ Theology in Apartheid South Africa

Abstract

This paper is about theological discourse in South Africa during apartheid. John de Grouchy has identified four theological approaches that emerged during that period. These theologies are: (1) confessing, (2) black liberation, (3) feminist, and (4) kairos or prophetic.1 In this study, I dwell on the kairos theology. I examine its impacts on apartheid and propound its implications for African Christianity.
