Abstract
English: In the introduction to this article an attempt is made to indicate why this issue has
become relevant, if not urgent, in the so-called Afrikaans churches. The next section
highlights the emphasis by contemporary biblical scholars on the influence of the context
within which the various books of the Bible were written. Some less convincing
proposals regarding the way in which the moral guidance of Scripture can today be
affirmed are then discussed. A more satisfactory affirmation is proposed, with the
basic moral orientation in the Bible as point of departure. This proposal is then applied
in an attempt to answer the question “What moral guidance does the Bible provide
regarding the contemporary issue of homosexuality?”
