Walking in witness: Honouring the missional imagination of Prof. Nelus Niemandt
Verbum et Ecclesia is a theological research journal that challenges traditional discourses within and between the fields of biblical, religious, social and human sciences as well as the constructive engagement with the natural sciences. It is an instrument of engagement between theological disciplines, on the one hand, and theology and other disciplines, on the other
Leadership emergence and missional theology: A biographical leadership study of Nelus Niemandt
This article explores the emergence of leadership within ecclesial and secular contexts through a biographical case study of Prof. Nelus Niemandt, a prominent South African church leader and theologian. Drawing on leadership emergence theory and social constructionist perspectives, the study investigates how leadership identities are collectively granted, individually internalised and contextually shaped. By analysing Niemandt’s own reflections o…
Does meaning matter? Nietzsche, Jung and implications for global leadership
The Global Risks 2035 Update by the Atlantic Council, despite its clinical focus on economic, environmental and security challenges, nevertheless suggests that shared global meaning might have a role to play in enabling humanity to set off on a more beneficial trend for its foreseeable global future. The realisation that the complex challenges facing humanity is existential as much as it is pragmatic necessitates trans-disciplinary engagement and…
Hospitality as a pivotal value in leadership: A transdisciplinary engagement with the case of Chief Albert Luthuli
This article presents hospitality as a pivotal value in the context of increasing diversity that characterises the complex relations in which leadership emerges. After reviewing the concept of Otherness in philosophy, the notion of hospitality as developed by Richard Kearney in relation to his philosophy of religion (The God Who May Be) is introduced. The case of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Chief Albert Luthuli is then presented as a biographical …
Fides in parenthesis: A spirituality of leadership for a (post-)secular(ising) world
From the viral social media feeds showing Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng in fervent prayer for the nation, to professed Christian Thuli Madonsela’s careful expression of the separation between religion and state, faith identity in the public sphere emerges as anything but a straightforward matter. By placing ‘Christian’ in parenthesis, the 2019 theme of the Theological Society of South Africa conference acknowledged that leaders operate in negotia…
Of Eden and Nazareth: Stories to capture the imagination
In pursuit of counter-traditions that have read the Eden narrative without subscribing to the Christian fall redemption paradigm, this article engages Richard Kearney s hermeneutical phenomenological reading of the imagination to explore new avenues for imagining sin and salvation along post-metaphysical lines. The first section provides insights proceeding from an intratextual reading of the Eden narrative. The second section proceeds to incorpo…
Violence and hatred in Psalm 137: The psalm in its ancient social context
Psalm 137 has become notorious for the brutality and bloodthirstiness that characterise its last verses. In the face of many past criticisms which rejected the Old Testament as a book of violence, both Christians and Jews need to take texts such as Psalm 137 seriously and interpret them against the social and cultural customs of their time. Before Psalm 137 can be judged against the ethical norms of modern societies, the text must first be unders…
