摘要

圣经,特别是旧约/希伯来圣经,能对当今南非普遍存在的文化和社会政治问题有所贡献吗?今天的斗争可能与政府无力对诸如贫穷、失业和提供水、卫生和电力等基本服务等问题作出反应有关。教会能做出这样的贡献吗?不仅通过批评,而且通过成为解决这些问题的一部分?在寻求上述问题的答案时,我们能否从旧约/希伯来圣经时代先知和国王之间的紧张关系中学到一些可以应用于南非当前局势的东西?换句话说,他们是如何应对文化和社会政治差异的?我们能从他们的智慧和实践中学到什么?这篇文章研究了申命记中的重要段落,以及以色列历史上不同时期国王和先知之间的互动,包括前先知和后先知。教会的角色不是参与政治。然而,他们应该忠于自己的信仰,在社会中以见证人的身份生活和传教。人民权利的保障,社会正义或缺乏正义,必须是这一见证的重要组成部分。

Prophets, Kings, and Vulnerability in South Africa Today
Can the Bible, specifically, the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, contribute to cultural and socio-political issues prevalent in South Africa today? The struggle today can be linked to the inability of the government to respond to issues such as poverty, unemployment and the provision of basic services, such as water, sanitation and electricity. Can churches make such a contribution, not only by criticising but also by being a part of the solutions to these issues? In seeking answers to the questions posed above, can we learn anything from the tensions between prophets and kings in the time of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible that can be applied to the current situation in South Africa? How, in other words, did they navigate some of their cultural and socio-political differences, and what can we learn or gain from their wisdom and practices? This contribution investigates important passages in Deuteronomy and the interaction between kings and prophets in the different periods in the history of Israel- in the former and latter prophets. It is not the role of churches to engage in politics. They should, however, remain true to their faith and live and preach as a witness in and to society. The safeguarding of the rights of the people, social justice or the lack thereof, must be an important part of this witness.
