The phrase ‘African-South African women’ is used in this work to refer to those women who belong to the indigenous peoples of South Africa: the Ndebeles, Sothos, Tswanas, Zulus, Vendas, and so forth. In a nutshell, it refers to African women in South Africa. In chapter two of this book each of these factors, particularly as they affect an African- South African woman’s liberation hermeneutics, will be looked into. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z Trapped between two canons : African- South African Christian women in the HIV/AIDS era http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5345 Trapped between two canons : African- South African Christian women in the HIV/AIDS era Masenya, Madipoane 2003-01-01T00:00:00Z Jeremiah http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5340 Jeremiah Masenya (ngwan'a Mphalele), Madipoane 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Why Asa was not Deemed Good Enough. A Decolonial Reading of 2 Chronicles 14-16 http://hdl.handle.net/10500/5315 Why Asa was not Deemed Good Enough. A Decolonial Reading of 2 Chronicles 14-16 Snyman, Gerrie The story world of Asa in 2 Chronicles 14-16 depicts a king who was a great leader for the major part of his reign: a warrior, a religious reformer, a building contractor and an organizer. Yet, with old age setting in, he revealed serious flaws in his character: he showed lesser faith in Yahweh and more faith in human institutions. The Chronicler finds him blameworthy and portrays the end of his life as his just desert. The Chronicler’s construction of his story (with those of the kings after David) alludes to the opposite roles attributed to Cyrus and Nabonidus in the Cyrus Cylinder. The author will argue a case to read Chronicles as a colonial text constructed to colonize the public transcript provided by texts such as the Cyrus Cylinder. This paper will provide a decolonial reflection on the text by inquiring into the changes the Chronicler brings to Asa’s story and comparing them to the portrayal of Cyrus in the Cyrus Cylinder. 2011-11-01T00:00:00Z
