Abstract
English: The world is currently experiencing a serious moral crisis. On the one hand, South
Africa is considered one of the world’s most Christian societies, but on the other
hand, it also has exceptionally high crime rates, in particular murder and rape, with
HIV/AIDS growing at an alarming rate. As these factors are closely related to human
morality, the researcher was interested in investigating the state of Christian morality
on a South African campus. The moral values of students of two different culture
groups at the University of the Free State were measured and compared. The
results showed no significant difference between the moral values of black and white
students. However, there was a very significant difference between male and female
morality. The scores of the female students were significantly higher than those of
the male students, implying that their Christian moral values are considerably
stronger than those of their male counterparts.
