| Summary: | Post-apartheid South Africa needs the healing of memories, bodies, relationships, etc. This will create conditions for social and economic development. Luke-Acts seems to have something to say in such a situation, dealing as it does with a range of social and economic issues. This paper focuses on the word oJloklhrija (Acts 3:16), a word which describes what happened to the former beggar whose condition was transformed after his encounter with Peter and John. It also highlights aspects of the miracle Acts 3 : 1-10 which are relevant for the context of socio-economic development in South Africa today. The conclusions are that physical and mental health, productivity, participation in the processes of production, and the need for a holistic approach to ministry and community service are of utmost importance if economic stability is to be achieved in South Africa. |
