    Die 2de en 3de gebruik van die sedewet? : Romeine 3:31 onder die loep (2020)

    Content: In this article, it is indicated that the Protestant teaching of the so-called second and third use of the moral law is not confirmed by Romans 3:31’s statement: “Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.” After looking at developments concerning the study of the role of the Torah that indicated a descriptive view rather than a prescriptive view thereof in Israel’s history, until a change to a more prescriptive view during the Persian period and thereafter, the relationship of faith and Torah in the Canonical Pentateuch came under scrutiny. Following this, new developments regarding Paul and the law were considered. Paul’s statement in Romans 3:31 was then examined in the context of Romans 2-4. After establishing the fact that this verse cannot be used to confirm the ongoing relevance of the law for the New Testament Christian concerning the knowledge of sin and rule for Christian living, it was tested against Galatians 3:12, which seems to contradict the findings on Romans 3:31. It was concluded that Paul indeed indicates that the truth of justification through faith is confirmed by the Torah itself and therefore the so-called second and third use of the moral law cannot be confirmed by Romans 3:31. Some implications of this conclusion are finally highlighted.

    70 Years later - what do we have to learn from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Latin America today? (2016)

    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: The year 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the execution of the Christian theologian and Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. His theological legacy has been of great importance in Latin America, for both ecumenical/liberationist theologians and Evangelical theologians alike. But the main question is: after so many years, is Bonhoeffer’s theology still relevant in the Latin American theological context? In other words, ‘Who is Dietrich Bonhoeffer for us - in Latin America - today?’

    Aanbidding en sport : ’n Ruimtelik-liturgiese ondersoek (2016)

    UID:
    (DE-627)1565289056
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: Worship and sport. A spatial-liturgical study The main aim of this article is to look into the possible connection there is between worship and sport. Through participatory observation an attempt was made to answer the basic practical theological question, namely “what is going on?” Two spaces in Atteridgeville were visited and compared, the one a worship space and the other a sport space. Similarities and differences were pointed out. Thereafter an attempt was made to answer the second question of practical theological interpretation, namely “why is this going on?” Two themes were used in doing so: spatiality and rituals. Both spaces are important in the lives of the community. The spaces and the rituals create an axis mundi where participation in life can take place through the rituals performed. The information in this article is an abstract of a study that culminated into a model for social cohesion.

    The absurdity of reconciliation. : What we (should) learn from Rustenburg and the implications for South Africa (2020)
    Details
    UID:
    (DE-627)1745533737
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: The quest for reconciliation in South Africa is an exercise in the absurd. To say it is an exercise for the absurd might also have some merit. Like Sisyphus, the figure in Greek mythology, those engaged in the quest for reconciliation are condemned to repeat forever the same, in some cases, meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain only to see it roll down again. This is amid the human propensity to forever search for meaning irrespective of the incongruity of the ideal and the absurdity that defines our existence. The illogicality of apartheid and the subsequent pain and alienation continues to be a defining feature of a country trying to come to terms not what it ought to be, but what it is - chaotic, irrational and sometimes meaningless. In this context, Rustenburg is a symbol of the audacity to dream of something beyond the absurd. Moreover, invoking a theology of reconciliation to achieve something extraordinary amid an uncertain future.

    Abundantly more. The Theological Promise of the Arts in a Reductionist World (2023)
    Details
    UID:
    (DE-627)1886046743
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: Abundantly More is far more than another monograph on theology and the arts, or a dummy’s guide to theological aesthetics. It is a Christian apologia in the classical sense - a carefully reasoned and theologically astute response to a world struggling for abundant life but seduced by the reductionist consequences of secularism and scientism. But, argues Begbie, "there is more to the world than we will ever be able to account for, more than could ever be fully discovered, thought, or spoken." This "more" is beyond philosophical proof; it is discerned by the theological insight that it arises "from the sustaining presence of the infinitely living God", that is "from the world's being upheld by a limitless plenitude of meaning and significance."

    Abusa Chimwala’s exorcism : Demons, Barth, and the Church of Central Africa (Presbyterian) (2019)
    Details

    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: This paper relates Karl Barth’s demonology to an exorcism performed by a minister of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian. Despite receiving a theological education in the Reformed tradition, the minister had not formally studied demonology from a Reformed perspective. Karl Barth, a Swiss Reformed theologian, illuminates what it was that the minister encountered and how this exorcism can be understood within a broader Christian cosmology. In addition, Barth’s nuanced theological approach helps the minister to chart a path forward so the possessed young woman can experience freedom and life in all of its fullness.

    Access to land in sub-Saharan Africa: The church as an unnoticed accomplice (2021)
    Details
    UID:
    (DE-627)1870324145
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: The access to land for Africans in sub-Saharan Africa has been problematic since the advent of colonisation. The church came to Africa as an acolyte of colonisers and acquired land as a benefit from its association. The minority of people still own the majority of land through title deeds, a Eurocentric view of land based on private ownership, while the landless (the majority of Africans) are still hoping their respective governments would redistribute equitably the land so that they could have access to their birth right inheritance from their Creator and their ancestors (Afrocentric view). The church is part of the minority that owns vast pieces of land. Different sub-Saharan African governments have proven to be incapable to do fair and equitable land redistributions. This article asks the question about how the church could be a role player in the democratisation of access to land. It stresses that the church could be a proactive role player in this issue of access to land by making its current land assets accessible to local communities as well as advocating for speedy land redistribution by governments. This article ends by highlighting proactive action of land access by some local churches to illustrate what the church can do and inspire others to follow suit.

    Accessing Yahweh’s presence : Ethical implications of the entrance liturgy of Psalm 15 (2016)
    Details
    UID:
    (DE-627)1565321197
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: This article is an examination of the theological foundation that lies at the core of the expression of Israelite piety; that is, the foundational and defining characteristic reflexes in Israelite religious experience of human access to Yahweh. The article is rightfully anchored on the premise that individuals and communities have the privilege of access to Yahweh. However, Psalm 15 presents certain ethical preconditions of continuous experience of access and intimacy with Yahweh. These ethical preconditions constitute Israel’s practice of pilgrimage with Yahweh, a practice that witness to the passionately penetrating symbolism of the requirements of a consistency of life direction. Psalm 15 insists that those who approach Yahweh for divine help or worship may do so having their internal and external condition in harmony with Yahweh. They must do so from hearts and lives of integrity. This article thus focuses on the context, content and concludes by reflecting on the ethical implications of Psalm 15 for both individual and corporate experience of worship.

    Acting liturgically : Wolterstorff’s philosophical reflections on religious practice (2020)
    Details
    UID:
    (DE-627)1745533788
    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: This review article offers an engagement with Nicholas Wolterstorff’s recent publication, Acting liturgically: Philosophical reflections on religious practice. It begins by contextualising the project, tracing Wolterstorff’s lifelong interest in liturgy, as documented in his memoir, In this world of wonders. This is followed by a careful exposition of each of the book’s four sections (with the headings “Liturgy, Enactments and Scripts,” “Liturgy and Scripture,” “God in the Liturgy” and “Liturgy, Love and Justice”). The article concludes with a few critical observations about the book in which it is shown why this is indeed a significant text which makes an important contribution to the (philosophical) study of liturgy.

    Acting responsibly in the global marketplace : The relevance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's ethics for entrepreneurs in international value chains (2023)
    Details

    ISSN: 2413-9467
    Content: In a value chain, products flow from primary producers to end users, often through intermediaries. The distribution of market power in each of the successive stages of the value chain is usually unequal and affects the financial compensation of participants. Unorganized primary producers in food or clothing chains tend to fall victim to heavy competition in consumer markets or to extreme efficiency requirements by retail chains. Increasingly, entrepreneurs running value chains are expected to take on responsibilities regarding the well-being of all participants, especially primary producers in developing countries. But what does acting responsibly mean for these entrepreneurs? Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) provided clear guidance on what the content of acting responsibly should be for Christians and non-Christians alike. However, is his concept of acting responsibly also relevant for leaders in value chains? Entrepreneurs are expected to adopt corporate social responsibility (CSR) requirements, which, among other things, imply that all participants in a value chain enjoy an appropriate livelihood. I explore whether entrepreneurs, if they take Bonhoeffer's criteria for responsible action seriously, do justice to all stakeholders in their value chain.
