About this video
Runtime: 18 minsAnupama Ranawana discusses the life and work of Marianne Katoppo, an Indonesian theologian, journalist, and novelist who was a pioneering voice in Asian women's theological responses to patriarchal challenges. Her 1979 book, "Compassionate and Free," paved the way for Asian women to articulate their theological visions for a just society. Katoppo was a storyteller, using narratives to illustrate the lived experiences of poverty and oppression. She emphasized the importance of language in theology, arguing that it reflects and constructs reality. Katoppo's work was part of a broader movement of liberation theologians in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, advocating for social justice and resistance against oppressive structures.
