‘IT IS YOUR DUTY TO BE HUMAN:’ A FEW THEOLOGICAL REMARKS AMIDST THE HIV/AIDS-CRISIS

  • Piet Naudé Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University

Abstract

This paper first explains why the HIV/Aids pandemic requires a fundamental reorientation of our theological reflection, followed by three reasons why such reflection is inhibited in the present churches’ context. It then attempts to set out how God the creator; Jesus, the self-donating priest; and the Holy Spirit create the basis for the church as healing and embracing community.
