DECOLONIZING EXODUS 3:7-10 IN AFRICAN YORUBA PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper presents an exegesis of Exodus 3:7-10 within the context of Yoruba decolonization, examining the passage through the lenses of fatalism, humanism, and biblicism. By drawing parallels between the Israelites' liberation from Egyptian bondage and the Yoruba people's struggle against colonial oppression, the study explores how these interpretive frameworks influence decolonization ideologies. The analysis highlights the role of biblical narratives in shaping socio-political movements, arguing that the interpretation of scripture can play a crucial role in inspiring and guiding efforts toward freedom and justice. This study contributes to the discourse on African liberation theology and its relevance in contemporary decolonization efforts.
