Abstract:
In this article two aspects of the Reformed ethos of the Nederduitsch Hervormde
Kerk van Afrika come to the fore. First, attention focuses on
truth as encounter. Truth is not something neutral but something that
involves the self, and is as such apprehended not by a solitary intellect,
but by the whole person in fellowship with God. In the second place attention
is given to the importance of the confessional tradition and its
interpretation in Reformed theology.
