Chapter 1Introduction

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 1 –7

[It took the compelling and inescapable moral authority of the Palestinian cry for justice—a cry from within the authenticity of Christian witness in the midst of unnamable, unremitting suffering and courageous struggle, of unbearable contradictions and deep complexities—to reconnect the remnants...

Chapter 2Hearing the Cry and Reading the Signs of the Times: A Humanity with a Kairos Consciousness

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 9 –37

[South Africans who stand in the prophetic tradition of the Kairos Document that came out of South Africa in the dark days of the anti-apartheid struggle and the first state of emergency in 1985, are the first to admit that the Palestinian Kairos called them to a moment of awareness of that...

Chapter 3At the Heart of It All: Kairos, Apartheid, and the Calvinist Tradition

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 39 –68

[“It is not enough,” says John Calvin in his commentary on Isaiah 58:6–7, “to abstain from acts of injustice, if you refuse your assistance to the needy.” In other words, it is not just about not doing injustice as if that is the fulfillment of God’s commandment, Calvin says. It is about two...

Chapter 4The Time for Pious Words Is Over: Kairos, Decision, and Righteous Choices

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 69 –92

[It is Dietrich Bonhoeffer who in so many ways illustrates and helps us understand the power and meaning of a kairos consciousness—the consciousness that helps us to discern and act upon a kairos moment. I had always thought that such a kairos consciousness in Bonhoeffer became clearest when he...

Chapter 5The Inclusiveness of God’s Embrace: Kairos, Justice, the Dignity of Human Sexuality, and the Confession of Belhar

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 93 –117

[In its 2008 General Synod the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa considered a report on “homosexuality.”1 That was a moment, in my view, in which this church, who had declared apartheid, its biblical and theological justification a heresy, and led the ecumenical movement in doing the...

Chapter 6The End of Words? Kairos, Challenge, and the Rhetoric of the Barricades

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 119 –140

[It will not be surprising that in our reflections on the meaning of kairos, prophetic preaching, that particular, extraordinarily difficult and dangerous calling of speaking truth to power, would loom large. And rightly so. Once kairos discernment turns a crisis into a kairos moment of...

Chapter 7Speaking Truth to the Tower: Kairos, Dissent, and Prophetic Speech

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 141 –167

[The gift of a kairos consciousness, I have argued above, is that it gives us the possibility to discern the signs of the times, to recognize a situation as a crisis that could be, or is in fact, devastating for the community. In many ways, the crisis is precipitated, created by the greed and...

Chapter 8Combative Love and Revolutionary Neighborliness: Kairos, Solidarity, and the Jericho Road

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 169 –197

[If the parables Jesus told should be read as “subversive speech” and the Jesus telling them as “pedagogue of the oppressed” as William R. Herzog holds1—and I think he is right—then the inner-city ministry of Dr. J. Alfred Smith Sr., pastor emeritus of Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland,...

Chapter 9That Which Avails Much: Kairos, Public Prayer, and Political Piety

Boesak, Allan Aubrey

Pages: 199 –211

[This chapter contains the text of the open letter I wrote in 2001 to Prof. Kader Asmal, then Minister of Education in the Cabinet of President Thabo Mbeki. So a word about context might be in order. I have found the open letter a very efficacious form of getting a point across, especially for an...
