Womanist Theology
Womanist Theology is a theological perspective that emerges from the experiences and struggles of Black women. It seeks to address the intersections of race, gender, and class, emphasizing the importance of community, spirituality, and social justice. This approach critiques traditional Christian theology for often neglecting the voices and experiences of women of color.
Rooted in the work of scholars like Delores Williams and Katie Geneva Cannon, Womanist Theology highlights the significance of lived experiences in understanding faith. It advocates for a more inclusive interpretation of scripture that honors the resilience and contributions of Black women, promoting liberation and empowerment within both religious and societal contexts.
