Apologie vir die Christelike lewenswyse en etiek
Abstract
Apology for a Christian way of life and ethics. Many young Afrikaners have turned their backs on the Calvinistic churches in South Africa. Many of them have difficulty with the
Christian morality. Works of by “Boetman” and Koos Kombuis are analysed in order to get acquainted with present-day thinking of the critics of the Afrikaans churches. This article proposes a positive reception of the moral tradition of the Early Church. A short
overview of the basic aspects of the ethics of the early church fathers and apologists is given. Whether the critics would embrace a morality of caring, remains an open question. The author is convinced that this morality is the better one. The critics are invited
to rethink Christian morality and ethics.
