The doctrine of providence in South African theologies
Providence can be described as God’s ongoing and enduring relationship to creation, through which God preserves, guides and governs all that exists. Accordingly, it is one of the most personal doctrines through which Christians affirm that God not only remains present and involved in God’s creation but also in our own lives. In this article, I examine the doctrine of providence in the South African theological landscape prior to 1994. To start wi…
Rocking the Boat of Hope, or tipping it over
SARS-CoV-2 has had a major impact on global humanity and is still a reality that we live with. While there are rays of hope that things may return to a new normal with less restrictions and a better understanding of the coronavirus (albeit still limited) and how to prepare for any new mutations or strains of the virus, or infectious waves due to new mutations, the pandemic has also brought several underlying issues to the fore. One of these is ge…
Transhumanism as a positional good, economic inequality, and a response from Christian ethics
Ethical responses to transhumanism, even from secular points of departure, often use religious language in debating the merits of discussion, and phrases such as ‘playing God’ or ‘hubris’ are not rare. Having Christian ethics and theology as one of the respondents to the ethical and moral issues that are raised by biotechnological developments such as transhumanism, is therefore perhaps easier than in other ethical concerns. In this contribution,…
Children’s narrative identity formation
This article explores children’s narrative identity formation and the impact of adult–child relationships on shaping a child’s narrative. The formation of identity in all children is vulnerable to a culture of ‘adultism’, wherein the authority wielded by adults can potentially subject children to abuse and neglect. Consequently, adultism has the aptitude to hinder the constructive development of a life-affirming identity in children. The primary …
Theological perspectives on re-imagining leadership in post-Covid-19 Africa
Post-corona disease 2019 (COVID-19) realities are challenging leaders in all spheres of society in many ways. From the onset of the pandemic, leaders on every level were challenged to provide appropriate guidance in the face of new and adverse realities. From the micro level of local congregations to the macro level of national governments, leaders were required to provide the type of leadership that would not only address immediate obstacles but…

Utilization of Christian doctrine as a theological resource
The doctrine of the Trinity is a doctrine that should have real and practical implications for daily Christian living. Proponents of the relational view of the Trinity believe that the relationship that exists between the triune God is a relationship of love, equality, and reciprocity. Consequently, this should reflect in the quality of relationship and caring activities created and extended by faith communities. Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is consi…
