Making Sadza With Deaf Zimbabwean Women

A Missiological Reorientation of Practical Theological Method.

Kirk VanGilder analyzes existing theological methodologies with sustained attention to a community of Deaf Zimbabwean women struggling to develop their own agency in relation to child rearing practices. He explores a variety of theological approaches from practical theology, mission oriented theologians, theology among Deaf communities, and African women’s theology in relationship to the challenges presented by subaltern communities such as Deaf Zimbabwean women. Rather than frame a comprehensive methodology, VanGilder proposes attitudes and guideposts to reorient practical theological researchers who wish to engender self-theologizing agency in subaltern communities. 148 Seiten, gebunden (Research in Contemporary Religion; Vol. 12/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2012) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
