Christelike etiek in ʼn sekulariserende samelewing

Author
JM Vorster

Synopsis

Christelike etiek in ’n sekulariserende sampling produces authoritative, fully evidenced and well-reasoned treatment of Christian ethics, a major topic that is of central concern to South Africa’s people. It disseminates original research, fosters collaboration among experts, and generates new developments within the field of Reformed Theology and Christian Ethics. The author applies Christian ethics to the concept of the kingdom of God as the overarching paradigm to elucidate societal and ecclesiastical problems which are experienced in morality today. The book’s hypothesis is argued and substantiated using various classics and investigations in the field of ethics. What promotes this specific research is that the author refers not only to international researchers but also to South African theologians and the South African situation.

The book further reflects on the phenomenon of secularisation and the notion of post-secular spirituality, arguing against the background of a universal law of nature and a specific scriptural revelation and Christology. In light of the challenges of postmodernity, it focuses on the concepts of truth, justice and the prophetic calling of the present-day church. The author has translated Christian situational ethics that enrich and stimulate research thoughts and can assist and advocate reconciliation in South Africa.
