Worlds Coming Together: What a White Male German Evangelical Learned from a Black Female South-African Bosadi Scholar

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article explores the works of Prof. Madipoane Masenya, a Black South African theologian, and her theological approach known as the "Bosadi Reading." It analyses how Masenya developed and understands her theological position, highlighting the ways in which the "Bosadi Reading" differs from "womanhood" or feminist approaches and identifying areas of intersection. In the second part, the article considers what a white German evangelical theologian (the author) can learn from this approach and what critical questions could be posed from his perspective.
