Faith Negotiating Loyalties draws readers into the world of
Christian faith in South Africa and the question of loyalties in
the new post-apartheid state. It carries out its investigation in
two parts. Part one examines Christian faith and loyalty during the
first nation-building exercise following the South African War,
positioning the creation and contestation of three Christianities
corresponding to three nationalisms, each of which imagined South
Africa in a particular way, shaping faith accordingly. The idea of
an undifferentiated South African Christianity gives way to
contesting and contested Christianities, nationalism gives way to
nationalisms, and faith emerges in tension with and in criticism of
these loyalties. Part two discusses the American theologian H.
Richard Niebuhr in South Africa. Three kinds of faith in his
wittings are set forth: social faith, radial faith, and
reconstructing faith. Contextualized within the South African
story, Niebuhr's ideas suggest self and society as constituted by
hybridities and suspended in a web of loyalties. Faith Negotiating
Loyalties suggests the message for faith in a post-apartheid South
Africa is the importance of negotiating covenants which allow for
crossings, hybridities, and contestations.
