Abstract
Book review: The book takes a broad look at the daily gender-related struggles of African women in their quest to find answers to their emotional, social, and health challenges as they seek out to commune with God. In other words, the authors wrote about the intersections of health and religion among African women in honor of Mercy Amba Ewudziwa Oduyoye’s conceptualizations of African women theology. This was done as a way to pay respect for Oduyoye’s contributions to the discipline of religion and culture, and theology. Through her timeless work, Mercy has earned a title for herself as a leading African woman theologian among her colleagues at the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians (also known as the Circle). By Isabel Apawo Phiri and Sarojini Nadar (eds). 280pp. New York: Orbis Books, 2006. $35.00 paperback, ISBN 10:1620320924.
