  Abstract In this article it is shown that the outlines of the Christian view of the afterlife were already fully developed around AD 200 in the Passion ofPerpetua. The main focus of this view was heaven, whereas hell received much less attention. Some of the basic elements, such as heaven and the resurrection, derived from the New Testament, which, in turn, was influenced by contemporary Jewish traditions, especially by apoca Read More

  Abstract In this article the author argues for a reconstruction of Pauls mission in which the prime focus of this mission is found in the proclamation of the gospel. It is argued that proselytising mission was a new, Christian habit, which was caused by the content of the gospel. The gospel intended the salvation of those who confessed Christ. Paul directed his proclamation of the gospel to the Gentiles because of his perception of the Read More

  Abstract Building on analyses by HJ. Adriaanse and R. de Sousa, the authors try to show that the fact that God transcends human thought need not be an obstacle for the articulation of a rational theology. They distinguish between two criteria for evaluative rationality: material and formal rationality. Materially, God should be said to be perfectly rational; formally, however, God should be viewed as suprarationally irrational. Read More
