Abstract

Black Theology and South Africa's kairós South Africa's Black Theology must be seen as a local contextual theology, but with roots in al least the American Black Theology, Latin American Liberation Theology as well as African Theology. After dealing with these roots, and the different trends in Black Theology, this theology is related to the Kairos Document of September 1985. The conclusion is that this Document can be regarded as the latest and clearest expression of Black Theology. As such it is a formidable challenge to the church and conventional theology.
