The absence of presence: homiletical reflections on Luther's notion of the masks of God (larvae dei)
(Faculty of Theology, University of the Free State, 2010) Cilliers, J.
This paper addresses a complex but core issue of preaching, namely the experience of the elusiveness of God’s presence (revelation) by taking cognisance of the notion of masking. Besides being a common cultural phenomenon, the art of masking could also be evaluated theologically and therefore homiletically. Luther’s understanding of the masks of God (larvae dei) is introduced into the discussion, and a number of homiletical implications are drawn in view of the continuous tension that exists between God’s revealing and his concealing.

Het ons te gou weggekyk?: nuwe belangstelling in die Hemelvaart en Sessio van Jesus
(Faculty of Theology, University of the Free State, 2010) Burger, C. W.
In the last decade, after years of neglect, quite a number of interesting books about the Ascension and Sessio of Christ were published. One thinks especially about the contributions of Farrow, Dawson, Redding and Burgess. The aim of the article is to have a closer look at the publications, to ask for reasons for the new interest and to question progress in the discussion about the two themes evaluatively.
