SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Much has been already written about public theology's prophetic role in democratic South Africa. This study seeks to offer a reality check. By probing some of Nico Koopman's views on justice and reconciliation I draw tentative conclusions regarding the shortcomings characteristic of the prevalent discourses that have developed in South Africa under the umbrella of public theology since the mid-1990s. I seek to explain why liberation theologies-be it black, feminist or queer-may and should constructively disrupt these discourses. I also point to some promising (prophetically-loaded) insights coming from the chosen public theologians that revolve around the tension between civic spirit and public anger. Lastly, I suggest that one essential aspect of public theologians' navigating between a populist temptation and a prophetic calling may be found in the need to rethink their theological accountability whereby grooving with people's anger appears as a sine qua non condition for prophetic theologizing.
