Social transformation through revelation: biblical values in the face of religious pluralism and everyday extremism.
The knowledge of God is the process that affects the individual and society. Adherence to certain patterns of knowledge creates the basis for certain ethical and moral behaviour. Therefore, the interpretation of Scripture is important in this process of knowing God and human interaction. Apophatic or conceptual knowledge maps out directions of social life that have a powerful effect on the individual and society. Scripture and its interpretation create paradigms of life that can encourage tolerance and respect or intolerance and religious extremism.
