Cobus van Wyngaard is Associate Professor in Systematic Theology at the University of South Africa.

The intertwined history of whiteness and Christianity has been a matter of persistent concern, and recent scholarship has contributed to deepening our ability to trace the way in which Christian theology serves to underpin the colonial world while being distorted through this very work. The lecture will seek to illustrate how our understanding of the theological roots of whiteness can assist in grappling with the particular history of racism in South Africa, and explore how the language of repair could assist in imagining the work required of and within Christian theology for the sake of the communities that we are embedded in.
