Abstract:
We live today in a world that is profoundly different from that of the
past. In understanding the need of theological training for the Nederduitsch
Hervormde Kerk van Afrika and the Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike
Afrika certain factors have to be taken in consideration. Among these
factors are concepts, assumptions, prejudices, new knowledge, changing
methods, differing contexts and altered world views. These are entangled
with economic, social, political and scientific changes as well as with
linguistic and religious developments. This discussion takes place in the
hope that both churches will benefit from this.
