Highly contentious issues in the South African political and socio-economic domain

摘要

This new book by Piet Naudé in the Beyers Naudé Series on Public Theology, contains four main parts namely Ethics, Justice and Humanity; Ethics and Interpretation; Ethics and Moral Discourse; and Ethics, Business and Economics. Every part consists of four chapters which are a compilation of earlier published articles and presentations. However, the book is divided in four different parts, it forms a unity with logical argumentation. The first chapter deals with Ethics, Justice and Humanity, and in this discussion the author makes a case for the importance of identity, being and cultural justice. He contends that cultural justice should precede social justice. Seen from a Christian ethical perspective the quest for identity can be founded in the life of the historical Jesus and his total revival of relationships.
