Abstract
Black Theology and South Africa's kairós South Africa's Black Theology must be seen as a local contextual theology, but with roots in al least the American Black Theology, Latin American Liberation Theology as well as African Theology. After dealing with these roots, and the different trends in Black Theology, this theology is related to the Kairos Document of September 1985. The conclusion is that this Document can be regarded as the latest and clearest expression of Black Theology. As such it is a formidable challenge to the church and conventional theology.

Summary
Oor die Swart Teologie word daar vanaf 1970 hier te lande bale geskryf en gepraat. Dit was ongeveer die jaar dat die term vir die eerste keer in sirkulasie gekom het, en wel in Amerika waar veral James Cone, pro fessor aan U nion Theological Seminary (New York), die nuwe teologie gepropageer het. Ons interesse is hoofsaaklik om die agtergrond te begryp sodat sinvol met die Swart Teologie in gesprek getree kan word. Die vraag in watter mate die Kairos Dokum ent van September 1985 (met 'n eerste hersiening in Augustus 1986) voorlopig die kroon span op die Suid-Afrikaanse Swart Teologie sal taamlik rigtinggewend wees. Is dit so dat daar in die afgelope jaar of wat baie m in sprake was van die Swart Teologie en dat selfs voorstanders die begrip nie meer gebruik nie? O m hierdie soort vrae te ondersoek, sal ons eers die Swart Teologie in sy breër verband met die Bevrydingsteologie nagaan; dan sal sy wortels in Afrika aangedui word. Die bree strominge binne die Swart Teologie en (ander se) pogings tot klassifikasie sal dan lei tot die Kairos Dokument
