Armoede, gender, seks, en de Bijbel1
By Jeremy PuntPoverty, gender and sex, and biblical interpretation are informed and impacted by a long interpretive history and constitute various hermeneutical challenges. Notwithstanding terminological and definitional difficulties regarding poverty, its intersectionality with gender is vital for accountable and responsible hermeneutics. Poverty and gender intersected particularly within ancient households, and poverty and sex in ancient prostitution – and in both cases, not without interesting considerations for the modern-day context. In a final section, some suggestions are made regarding the value of investigating the intersection(s) of poverty, gender and sex in biblical interpretation, for the past and present.

Karl Barths impulsen voor theologische reflectie over schuldgevoel en verzoening in de publieke ruimte
More LessIn the context of the present discussion about confessing guilt and expressing forgiveness towards the victims of colonial slavery, this article exposes Karl Barth’s view on how the German churches discussed the necessity of confessing guilt right after the Second World War. Barth’s reaction on the way they dealt with their responsibility for their role in national-socialist Germany between 1933 and 1945 is taken into account. The article shows how Barth stressed the necessity of confessing guilt, knowing that God bears our guilt in Christ, but also that asking for forgiveness is impossible for those who do not bear personal responsibility.

Een Goddelijk antwoord van recht en zorg
More LessThis article examines the meaning and use of divine vengeance in New Testament texts against the background of Greco-Roman, Old Testament and Early Jewish speech on vengeance. The New Testament authors consider divine vengeance to be an act of divine eschatological justice in which God or Jesus stands up for divine honor and the (covenantal) people. Divine vengeance is an answer to unfaithfulness and persistent unworthiness. The New Testament authors use the concept of divine vengeance to warn against unworthy behavior as a follower of Jesus the Messiah or as pastoral guidance in times of oppression and worries.

De rol van de kerk in het publieke debat
More LessLooking back at 75 years of magazine Kerk en Theology, we can conclude that the first generation of Dutch Reformed church leaders after World War II saw as their mission as curbing the secularization, or the 're-christianisation' of the Netherlands. In realizing that project, all kinds of means were employed including the church's participation in social debate. The editors of Kerk en Theology wholeheartedly supported this project by providing space for theological reflection and debates on concrete social questions. However, the assumption that this could halt the ongoing secularisation has proved false. Secularisation is a complicated cultural transition in which church leaders may have a role, but their role should not be overestimated.
