Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no doubt about the particular importance of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) in public life during the apartheid era in South Africa. A question of a more complex nature relates to the role the DRC played in the transition-process from Apartheid to Democracy. The contributions of this book offer sharp and differentiated analyses of the church-state-relationship in the last phase of Apartheid, considering mainstream developments as well as efforts of individuals or groups less centrally placed, though not necessarily less significantly involved.

Book Synopsis From Apartheid to Democracy by : Katherine Elizabeth Mack
Download or read book From Apartheid to Democracy written by Katherine Elizabeth Mack and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hearings can be considered one of the most significant rhetorical events of the late twentieth century. The TRC called language into action, tasking it with promoting understanding among a divided people and facilitating the construction of South Africa’s new democracy. Other books on the TRC and deliberative rhetoric in contemporary South Africa emphasize the achievement of reconciliation during and in the immediate aftermath of the transition from apartheid. From Apartheid to Democracy, in contrast, considers the varied, complex, and enduring effects of the Commission’s rhetorical wager. It is the first book-length study to analyze the TRC through such a lens. Katherine Elizabeth Mack focuses on the dissension and negotiations over difference provoked by the Commission’s process, especially its public airing of victims’ and perpetrators’ truths. She tracks agonistic deliberation (evidenced in the TRC’s public hearings) into works of fiction and photography that extend and challenge the Commission’s assumptions about truth, healing, and reconciliation. Ultimately, Mack demonstrates that while the TRC may not have achieved all of its political goals, its very existence generated valuable deliberation within and beyond its official process.

Book Synopsis Religion, Politics, and Identity in a Changing South Africa by : Abdulkader Tayob, Wolfram Weisse, David Chidester
Download or read book Religion, Politics, and Identity in a Changing South Africa written by Abdulkader Tayob, Wolfram Weisse, David Chidester and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of religion in society? In the wake of September 11, public intellectuals provided easy answers. According to some, religion was the problem, others commented, religion was the solution. Generally, public debate about the force of religion in society has been organized by either/or propositions. Religion is a force for either freedom or bondage, for either peace or war, for either mutual recognition or antagonistic polarization. Analysis of religion and social change has also tended to be framed in terms of oppositions that inform research agendas and public policy. In this book, authors from South Africa, the United States of America, the Netherlands, and Germany test these oppositions.

Book Synopsis Karl Barth's Emergency Homiletic, 1932-1933 by : Angela Dienhart Hancock
Download or read book Karl Barth's Emergency Homiletic, 1932-1933 written by Angela Dienhart Hancock and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-20 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a theologian say to young preachers in the early 1930s, at the dawn of the Third Reich? What Karl Barth did say, how he said it, and why he said it at that time and place are the subject of Angela Dienhart Hancock's book. This is the story of how a preaching classroom became a place of resistance in Germany in 1932 33 -- a story that has not been told in its fullness. In that emergency situation, Barth took his students back to the fundamental questions about what preaching is and what it is for, returning again and again to the affirmation of the Godness of God, the only ground of resistance to ideological captivity. No other text has so interpreted Barth's "Exercises in Sermon Preparation" in relation to their theological, political, ecclesiastical, academic, and rhetorical context.
Download or read book John Calvin written by John W. de Gruchy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 is the 500th anniversary of the birth of Calvin, the Reformed theologian whose legacy has played such an important role in the shaping of modern South Africa. The popular understanding of him as grim moralist, proponent of predestination and a tyrannical God is a caricature, but one that does spring from aspects of Calvin's legacy. In this book, De Gruchy attempts to restate the Reformed tradition as a transforming force, one that opposed slavery and apartheid and that participated in the struggle for liberation and transformation in this country. De Gruchy considers Christian humanism to be an alternative to both Christian fundamentalism and secularism, as "being a Christian is all about being truly human in common with the rest of humanity", and has come to the conclusion that there is much to retrieve and celebrate in the Reformed tradition that is of importance for the ecumenical church and global society in the 21st century. The "evangelical" element in the title refers to the literal meaning of the word - "good news" - which is at the heart of being both Christian and human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a South African context ... condemning apartheid is not enough. To make a non-racial, democratic, inclusive society viable and enduring, much more is required ? of which creative and imaginative theological thinking is not the least. Fundamental theological values and their implications for all the facets of society must be thought through ? not as an academic exercise, but as a grass-roots undertaking ? and the greatest challenge is to act in terms of this new understanding of society." - Bernard Lategan, Some implications of the family concept in New Testament texts

The current challenges to the church and theology are discussed. Racism is one issue that poses an increasingly huge challenge to South Africa today. The book demonstrates what needs to be done extra to deal with the scourge of racism that seems to have percolated through virtually all aspects of our existence and particularly the church today in South Africa."e; - Prof. Rothney Tshaka (University of South Africa)
