Kerk - kultuur - volk - owerheid

Abstract

Since 1994 the Republic of South Africa has undergone profound political and cultural changes. The churches in South Africa (including the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika as an Afrikaans-orientated church) need to evaluate the situation and come to a theological understanding of their relationship with the culture, people and government of South Africa. This article examines the relationship between church, culture, people and government from an historical, theological, philosophical and practical perspective.
