"Mercy Amba Odyoye, from Ghana, founded the Circle of Concerned African Women. She served as Deputy General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, the first African woman from south of the Sahara to hold such a high position in the WCC. The book begins by first describing the particular contributions Mercy Oduyoye has made to African theology. The second part deals with issues of women's health and scripture. Part IV deals with health issues, particularly HIV/AIDS, and women as peace-makers. In Part V, the only essay by a male theologian, examines women's theology in Africa"-- Amazon UK.
