DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo more heartrending yet hopeful case study in Christian ethics exists than in the story of South African apartheid and its recent decisive transformation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe research question of this book reads: Can South Africans, amidst all the contemporary distrust in political leadership and moral decay, find a moral compass that could lead them to a humane society of mutual trust, respect for each other, a flourishing life and a bright future for future generations? This book presents new perspectives on the psychopathology created by colonisation, the failures of the post-1994 dispensation regarding reconciliation, transformation, justice, distorted family life, violence, unity in diversity, as well as moral leadership and agency and indifference to a future of hope. It proposes a new moral compass that can lead South Africa out of the abyss.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection of papers was presented at the eighteenth symposium of the Research Institute for Theology and Religion (Unisa) in 1994. The transition to a full democracy has been something of a bloodless revolution in South Africa, but a post- apartheid society can only remain bloodless if it is complemented by many smaller revolutions. These smaller revolutions are mainly concerned with the reconstruction process which takes place not only on a physical level, but also has to do with changed attitudes and a reconstruction of minds. The contributions in this book deal with very real issues like societal trends, economic and legal realities and the psychological effects of change on people. This book explores the problems and the opportunities of the challenge to Christianity in South Africa that sociopolitical change poses.
