Keeping The Spirit of Kairos Alive: Where is the Church in Democratic South Africa? Is a book written by Rev. Dr. Wesley Mabuza about the most prophetic critique of the Church in Apartheid South Africa, The Kairos Document of 1985. The book gives a full account of the context in which the Kairos Document was produced, its key message and the response that followed its publication nationally and internationally. In this book, Mabuza argues that the spirit with which the Church resisted apartheid through the Kairos Document is a model that Churches can mobilise itself in the post-apartheid South African context that faces challenges of patriarchy, climate change and economic inequality. Dr. Mabuza is a former director of the Institute for Contextual Theology, the organisation that spearheaded the production of the Kairos Document. This book is for church leaders, activists, priests, changemakers, political leaders and the general Christian community of faith.
