| Summary: | Throughout the struggle against apartheid South African theologians have been deeply divided about the use of the Bible in socio-political and ethical argumentation; this dispute is briefly recounted. Three doctoral theses in Christian ethics recently completed are summarised; aspects such as narrative ethics, role- models, heroes, martyrs and saints in Christian ethics; a black theological perspective arguing the importance of discipleship and societal transformation and an ecclesial approach to ethics which encompasses fellowship, integrity and responsibility are covered. In the final section the question whether these approaches could offer new possibilities for reading the Bible within constructive Christian ethical involvement in South African society is raised. |
