M.; Schoeman, KobusItem Open Access Battle for the heart: how (not) to transform church and society(LIT Verlag, 2020) Hermans, Chris A. M.; Van den Berg, Jan-AlbertThe battle of the heart can be seen as the core problem of the Christian religion in modern culture. According to Augustine, the complex mixture of longings are the driving forces of human lives. These longings are not an intellectual puzzle, but rather a craving for sustenance. The contributions locate the battle for the heart and transformation of society and church in the context of an ethnic, multi-religious, socio-economical divided Africa. Where are the authentic voices of leaders who can change the heart? How to mend a 'broken' heart? How to transform congregations towards inclusion of difference? Can we embrace the dignity of difference as attitudes that enable transformation of church and society?Item Open Access Jesus Christus, seun van God, is ons versoening: 'n missionêre Christologie(SUN MeDIA Bloemfontein (SUN PReSS imprint), 2017) Verster, PieterIn Jesus Christus, Seun van God, ίs ons versoening: ’n Missionêre Christologie beklemtoon Pieter Verster die unieke betekenis van Jesus Christus as Seun van God en die implikasies van hierdie belydenis vir die sending. Verster lig die betekenis vir die sending uit deur ’n hermeneutiek en evangeliese grondslag vir die interpretasie van die Bybelse teks en konteks binne die post-moderne wêreld te ontwikkel. Die Christologiese benadering is essensieel vir sending, veral in die lig van Christus as Versoener in sy ampte as Koning, Profeet en Priester. Deeglike Skrifbewyse word voorgelê om sy standpunt te verduidelik. - Dr Maniraj Sukdaven, Religiekunde en Missiologie, Universiteit van Pretoria
