Allan Aubrey Boesak, renowned theologian, anti-apartheid activist and politician, turned 70 on 23 February 2016 and in his honour a number of his friends, colleagues and students contributed to this festschrift. These essays can be regarded as academic commentary, impressionistic overviews or brief notes on the life and work of Allan Boesak. For much of his public life Boesak has been a controversial figure: for the politically oppressed during the apartheid years he represented their anger and resistance; for the politically dominant he was an irritant, a troublesome preacher. The contributors write with unconcealed admiration about Boesak’s theological and political activism, leadership, eloquence and intelligence. His life and his formation as a black liberation theologian are recounted, often framed by the contributor’s view of his ‘prophetic’ calling.
