AFRICAN LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND WOMEN’S EXPERIENCE OF VIOLENCE AND DISCRIMINATION IN AFRICA

Abstract

This work raised questions as regards what Christianity is calling men and women to become: to become a new people in Christ, who are reformed by grace. This is because the destiny of man is his divination, and the incarnation is the divine proposal of humanity’s divinization, which is part of the historic-concrete order of creation. The researcher, thus, employed the method of liberation theology to study the experiences of women in Africa. The highlighting of major points in liberation theology is to help the human person to reflect on the dignity of its humanity. The hermeneutic method of inquiry was employed for the purpose of this study.
