Teologie en konteks: vraag na 'n teologie vir Suid-Afrika
Abstract
This article addresses what it implies to do theology with a
“sense of place”. The question is raised about a responsible
theology for South Africa and it is situated methodologically
within the contemporary imperative of considering “context”
as a major source for theology. The article acknowledges
various theological attempts at taking the South African
reality seriously. The central argument of the article consists
of three moves. A suggestion is given as to what might
constitute “responsible theology”; a brief profile presents
the multifaceted character of the present South African
horizon, and a constructive proposal stresses hermeneutical
revisionings of Trinitarian theology, soteriology (Gospel),
ecclesiology (identity and community), and spirituality.
