In this scholarly book, a century’s theology presented by the Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria, is celebrated. All authors are academics or research associates of the University of Pretoria. A historical and futuristic overview with perspectives from the past, present and future, are examined. The past is not only portrayed by means of societal and scientific contributions and achievements, but the authors also reflect on malfunctions, ill behaviour and disappointments of church and theology, presented at the University of Pretoria within the South African context over 100 years. The book commences with a chapter in which institutional transformation is discussed, as well as the changes that demonstrate the role of the Faculty of Theology within a secular state university. It includes an explanation of the importance of research impact, research productivity and research reputation. Among various discipline indicators, the category Theology and Religion Studies plays a significant role in the measurement of world university rankings of universities. With regard to scientific and encyclopaedic content, the book focuses on the theological disciplines presented in the academic curricula: first the biblical sciences (Old and New Testament Studies), then the historical disciplines (Systematic Theology, Church History and Church Polity), and finally the practical disciplines (Practical Theology, Science of Religion and Missiology). The role of Religion Studies in a newly established Faculty of Theology and Religion not only enhances the diversity of interreligious tolerance and an atmosphere of dialogue, but it serves as platform to interconnect with the fields of Humanities, Social and Natural Sciences and other academic disciplines. In the conclusive part of the book, contributions highlight the role of the centres in the Faculty (Centre for Contextual Ministry and Centre for Sustainable Communities), as well as the continental and international footprints of the two theological journals whose title ownership is attached to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Pretoria, namely HTS Theological Studies and Verbum et Ecclesia. The methodology comprised in all the chapters amounts to a literature and contextual study. Since the book describes the histories of formal academic departments, these texts are of a descriptive, interpretative and critical character. Reference is made in some chapters to exegetical methods, like the historical critical methods. The target audience of the book is academic scholars and theologians, who specialise in the different fields of Theology, the Humanities and other Social Sciences. The book is also accessible to scholars of other academic disciplines outside these disciplines. The book comprises original research by several authors and is not plagiarised from other scientific publications of this nature.

This profound and deeply compassionate study aims to reach into the complexities of political violence and to expend our understanding of the patterns of conflict that almost drew South Africans into a vortex of total disintegration during the apartheid era. While many accounts have focused on the victims of state repression, this unique volume documents the often contradictory and confusing stories of those who acknowledge having committed some dreadful deeds. Individuals on various sides of the apartheid divide, from state security structures to the ANC, PAC and grassroots activists, tell their own stories. The authors also offer the first critical examination of the TRC''s amnesty process, show how media representations of perpetrators inform public perceptions, and scrutinise international scholarly reflection on the issue of political violence.

Glimpsing into the impact of Christianity in one of Africa''s largest and fastest-growing megacities, located in the Gauteng City-Region, this book explores how faith shaped the city and its society. Addressing a scarcity of religious scholarship in the field of urban studies, this book focuses on the Johannesburg–Pretoria corridor and Christian faith expressions in the evolving African megacity. Stéphan de Beer highlights how city and faith are in conversation and explores various expressions of Christian faith in this ever-changing urban landscape. Connecting socio-spatial change in post-apartheid South African cities with the changing Christian landscape, this book interrogates the connections and disconnections between Christianity and urban change. Chapters feature wide coverage across both cities, including the areas of Sandton, Tshwane, Woodlane Village and Soshang. Examining the contexts where global migration and Christian faith increasingly co-exist, this book provides valuable insights to students of religion, sociology and urban studies.

Dit boek beschrijft alle mogelijke afwijkingen aan de huid en nagels van de voeten, gecategoriseerd op kleur. Op die manier helpt het pedicures om onderscheid te maken tussen onschuldige afwijkingen en alarmsignalen waarvoor een verwijzing naar een huisarts nodig is. Ook geeft het boek pedicures praktische tips en adviezen. Kleurafwijkingen aan de voet. Wat kleuren voetverzorgers vertellen over huid- en nagelaandoeningen begint met een hoofdstuk over de opbouw van de huid en uitleg over hoe de huidskleur tot stand komt. Daarna volgt een hoofdstuk over de donkere huid. Herkenning van aandoeningen bij de donkere huid is complex, omdat verkleuringen als roodheid lastiger waar te nemen zijn. In de volgende hoofdstukken worden tien kleuren aan voeten en nagels beschreven en de ziektebeelden die daarbij passen. Een pedicure mag geen diagnose stellen, maar kan door eenvoudig naar een kleur te kijken gemakkelijk nagaan waar zoal aan gedacht kan worden. Zeker omdat in het boek 200 foto’s van hoge kwaliteit staan. Dr. Johan Toonstra geeft les aan pedicures en podotherapeuten en is gespecialiseerd in afwijkingen aan de huid van voeten en aan de nagels. Hij schreef hierover met dr. Anton de Groot verschillende boeken. Tineke de Beer is ervaren medisch pedicure. Eerder schreven Toonstra en De Beer al samen het Voetenvragenboek waarbij honderd vragen uit de dagelijkse praktijk worden besproken.
