Are you diligent and hard-working? Do you get angry? Do you bear other's burdens? Is your love for that significant other person in your life the kind that always protects, trusts, hopes & perseveres? Do you love your neighbour? The "right" answers might not be quite what you expect! An African Response to the Question of Apartheid - Review by Colin Lamb Despite the crumbling of the apartheid evil as a political, economic and social legal structure, it's still very much alive in the hearts and minds of this nation's Christians during their day-to-day activities Art and Ideas of the Reformation Part 1: Rembrandt - Ruth Kerkham "The Reformation has been criticised by some as having had an anti-art spirit" This very informative article looks at how the ideas of Luther and Calvin informed the works of the great 17th Century artist . Christian Education in the African Context - Review by Guy Hartley "From the challenges of traditionalism, racism, nationalism, and militarism to scientism, historicism, etc., the volume explores the innumerable ideologies that hold our continent in its grip..." Christianity and Mathematics - Andrew Philip "Mathematics is being seen not merely as a part of the structure of reality waiting to be discovered, but as a human activity, subject to all of the prejudices and limits that our presuppositions force us into." In Andrew's review, he points you to a couple of books to read on the topic. Sounds fascinating! Maybe 1+1=3, after all. Co-dependency - Carolyn Gird This is a very helpful article - a must read for anyone who has ever wondered about their problem relationships. It is complemented by Sue Gibbings' Quiz. Human Rights, a Reformational Concern - Etienne van Rensburg Is the issue of human rights really a Christian pursuit? Should Christians concern themselves with the problems of this world, or with getting souls saved for the next? Introducing Anthea Garman - An Interview by Gigi Lamoral Can a Feminist who doesn't go to Church be a Christian? Judge for yourself. Life's Like That? - Erna Buber de Villiers The story that never got into the Reader's Digest. Models of Christian Historiography - Dr. John Newby History is about facts... or is it? My Christian Worldview Pilgrimage - Gideon Strauss Gideon says he had a longsuffering mother this (very funny) story gives me hope that God will not run out of patience with me! New Hope for the Bleeding Continent of Africa - Bennie van der Walt a few general impressions of positive change on the continent. In spite of the fact that many believe that Africa is a "lost continent", ... New and wonderful things are happening Philosophy as Schooled Memory - Calvin Seerveld You cannot read Seerveld without getting wiser! The article shows you why you think and act the way you do. Pulling the Curtain Down: the East German Protestant Church - Stephen Lazarus You never read it in the newspapers, but it is a true (goose-bumps) story. This article is an exciting account of the power of prayer and the Word to change the course of history in our times. The Challenge of AIDS to the Medical Profession - Dr Donald Miller A medical practionioner calls his colleagues to account The South African Challenge - Justin Laing Alan Paton remarked that it took him a lifetime to realise that the implementation of Christian ideals is not a matter of winning or losing, but of waging the battle incessantly. That would seem a good thing to bear in mind. |
