Englewood Review of Books “Ten Theology Books to Watch For”: “This illuminating study explores African theologian Mercy Amba Oduyoye’s constructive initiative to include African women’s experiences and voices within Christian theological discourse.”

African Journal of Gender and Religion review by Selena Headley: “This book provides a thorough examination of the life and work of Mercy Amba Oduyoye, one of the first African women theologians to publish substantive theological reflections on African women.”

American Academy of Religion’s Reading Religion review by Isuwa Atsen: “The book is…significant because it focuses on one of the key contributors to the emergence and blossoming of a distinctly African Christian theology, and one who has not gotten the kind of attention in the literature that her work deserves. Oredein writes in a style that is clear and analytically rigorous but still accessible to a wider readership.”

Review in The Christian Century by Adriana Rivera: “the goal of this collection is not simply to replace traditional theopoetics and assert the dominance of theopoetics in color. Rather, it aims to reshape the subject, putting flesh on its bones and breathing new life into it.”
