Resumen
MALULEKE, Tinyiko. The making of Allan Aubrey Boesak: Theologian and political activist. Missionalia (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.45, n.1, pp.61-76. ISSN 2312-878X. http://dx.doi.org/10.7834/45-1-224.
Although no conventional biography of Allan Boesak has been published, either by himself or others, as far as we are aware, we have enough data and information in various places to make small beginnings of the long overdue task. Boesak's phenomenal contribution to political theology, black theology and ecumenism both in South Africa and internationally, deserves deliberate acknowledgement. In this essay, we attempt an appraisal of the contribution of Allan Boesak to politics and theology by focusing on key milestones and reflections in his life. We take our cue from Boesak's own self-definition of being a theologian and a political activist and proceed to explore some of the roots and sources of his theology and political activism.
