“…See for instance the illustrative work done by Jodamus (2022) on the role of the 'Pinkster kerk' specifically the version on the Cape Flats. See also the article of Baron (2020) on the 'socio-political' history of the neo-Pentecostal church on the Cape Flats, and how their spirituality was from the context oppression and marginalisation, and the 'getuienisse ' [testimonies] was not only spiritual, but from the wells of oppressed coloured people on the Cape Flats.…”

The death of Black Theology of Liberation (BTL) has been announced, and many were invited to the funeral. This article rejects vehemently such a death as a myth, and provides two reasons why such a theology would have a place to address theologising in the world. It firstly argues that BTL attributes its birth through stories. These stories are captured in history; embodied stories that are told. Secondly, it is found in a broader epistemology than that provided by the Enlightenment paradigm. Therefore, it is not only found in conceptual, argumentative discourses, but other forms of knowledge systems, including stories, poetry, and personal storytelling. However, this has still not been equally appreciated and explored. Taking the above two reasons into account, the death of BTL cannot be announced by academics, since they were never the sole custodians thereof, only recipients of the tradition of an oppressed people.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article has implications for how theology is being done in all theology-related disciplines, moving from context, to scripture, to context in a continuous hermeneutical circle. It addresses the way in which all theological disciplines have been functioning within the Enlightenment paradigm, and how black theology itself has lent itself to it, but is continually reforming, because of its nature to be narrative in its approach.

Empirical studies show a clear geographical bias in journal publications that invisibilizes Africa. This primarily conceptual article – which adopts a philosophical analytical method – builds on these studies by drawing on two key sites of internal exclusion (language of competence and epistemological capture) in African scholarships to explain why such geographical bias is immoral. Furthermore, the article uses these concepts and integration – described as deliberative iterations – to articulate what concretely needs to happen and the specific actions to be taken to foster transformational inclusion in bioethics publications.
