WESTHUIZEN, Henco van der. Doing theology from below, from below? Bonhoeffer, De Gruchy, South Africa. STJ [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.4, pp.83-112. ISSN 2413-9467.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2020.v6n4.a4.

To address the issue of doing theology from below in South Africa, I will question how Bonhoeffer's learning to see things from below has been interpreted from below. I will ask how John de Gruchy, who edited the new English edition of Bonhoeffer's final fragments, interpreted him from below. In this light I will reflect on doing theology from below in South Africa.

Keywords : Dietrich Bonhoeffer; John de Gruchy; theology from below; Graham Ward; decolonization.
