What is Reformational theology?: Thoughts on a petition of protestThe Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa (NRCA) has been associated with apartheid for decades. In 2010 the NHKA decided to withdraw its theological legitimisation of apartheid. This decision caused conflict and strife within the church. This article deals with the theological arguments of the opponents of Decision 54 of the General Church Assembly of 2010. It argues that the defenders of apartheid deviate from the Reformational theology on central issues. Special attention is given to the doctrines of justification and the imago Dei. Christian freedom and ethical responsibility also receive attention. © 2011. The Authors. Licensee: AOSIS OpenJournals.

Die Kerk verwerp sy goedkeuring van apartheid omdat dit (1) in stryd is met die evangelie van Jesus Christus, (2) gebaseer is op die idee van onderlinge onversoenlikheid, (3) onreg sanksioneer en (4) die beeld van God in mense aantas. Die vergadering beklemtoon die Bybels-teologiese aard van hierdie verklaring. Motivering: Ons ken geen ander evangelie nie as die evangelie van God se liefde in Christus wat van ons eis om met ander deernis te hê soos God met ons deernis het. Daarom kan ons die apartheidsisteem in kerk en samelewing nie anders as inherent mensonterend sien nie. Terwyl die aantasting van menswaardigheid op geen manier Bybels, teologies of moreel geregverdig kan word nie, dring die evangelie sowel mense wat deur onregverdige strukture bevoordeel is as dié wat nie bevoordeel is nie, om sulke regverdigingspogings te weerstaan (NHKA 2010:108-109).

“…But there are other, apparently cognate distinctions we could have used instead. German‐language scholarship more commonly examines the relationship between dogmatics ( Dogmatik ) and ethics (Honecker 1990, 25–28). By contrast, works in English more frequently discuss theology and ethics or doctrine and ethics.…”

The Distinction between Theology and Ethics: A Critical History

Lau

2024

Journal of Religious Ethics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article sketches an intellectual history of the distinction between Christian theology and Christian ethics. The twists and turns of that history have been obscured by a recent tendency to deny the distinction's usefulness, as part of a wider strategy for reasserting theology's relevance to modern social problems. By contrast, earlier theologians assumed the value of the theology/ethics divide, interpreting it through Aristotelian, neo‐Kantian, and finally Marxist categories. The distinction fell into disrepute because theologians struggled to maintain the distinction consistently and disagreed on the concerns implicated by it, variously using it to affirm the moral subject's agency, the divine/human difference, or the complexity of real people's circumstances. Nonetheless, the distinction has persisted as a useful shorthand for recognizing the limitations of Christian theology, qua a conceptual discourse, in fully apprehending its subject matter of the Christian life.

Values: A Contested Concept. Problem Outline and Interdisciplinary Approaches

Philosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations

The concept of values builds the ‘umbrella’ of this interdisciplinary volume. But what ‘are’ values? Our volume documents, that values are a contested concept. In this chapter, I want to discuss the polysemic and ambiguous meanings and functions of this term and identify its strengths and weaknesses for public and political discourse. In this way, a more qualified and differentiated reference to values shall be promoted, particularly in the debates about European values. The discussion of values will be achieved using three approaches. First, the concept of values used in the European Values Study (EVS) will be presented. As the EVS does not claim a clear definition of values, a thematic problem outline will, second, reflect the questions, problems, and difficulties occurring in an unreflected usage of this contested term, with a special focus on the relationship between values and religion. Third, an overview of diverse academic definitions and theories of values demonstrates that there is no unique and conclusive definition of this concept. However, this article aims at providing arguments for why exactly the polysemy and ambiguity of the concept of values can be perceived as a strength, if we are aware of the problems and relate them to the results of values research. Thus, we purposely abstain from a final definition of values and hope to inspire further qualified interdisciplinary research, which is a desideratum that has become visible in our project.
