CONRADIE, Ernst M.. Reconstructing the history of doing Systematic Theology at UWC - Some fragmentary decolonial perspectives. STJ [online]. 2021, vol.7, n.1, pp.1-63. ISSN 2413-9467.  https://doi.org/10.17570/stj.2021.v7n1.t9.

On the basis of a companion article on reconstructing the history of doing theology at UWC, this article offers several qualifications on how to approach and not to approach doing systematic theology at UWC before eight soteriological themes that have been prominent in theological discourse at UWC are outlined, namely conversion / transformation, unity / ecumenicity, reconciliation, justice, human dignity, liberation, reconstruction / development, and the integrity of creation. It is suggested that the remarkable reception of Gustaf Aulén's Christus Victor typology at UWC is indicative of the always uneasy counter-intuitive attempt to hold together liberation, evangelical / reformed and liberal theologies - that is perhaps epitomised by UWC.

Palabras clave : Belhar Confession; church unity; decoloniality; development; human dignity; justice; integrity of creation; liberation; reconciliation; soteriology; Systematic Theology; University of the Western Cape.
