SMIT, Johannes A.  y  CHETTY, Denzil. Martin Prozesky and 'Well-being': Retroactive and proactive perspectives on religion and ethics in the social transformation of South Africa. J. Study Relig. [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.277-306. ISSN 2413-3027.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2413-3027/2018/v31n1a16.

This article primarily outlines the discursive threads in Prozesky's 'Implications of Apartheid for Christianity in South Africa' in the book he edited, Christianity Amidst Apartheid: Selected Perspectives on the Church in South Africa ([1985] 1990); his first book, Religion and Ultimate Well-Being: An Explanatory Theory (1984); and his latest book, Conscience: Ethical Intelligence for Global Well-Being (2007). This is under three headings: Apartheid as Heresy; Explaining Religion; and Conscience Ethics. We conclude with some appreciative and critical reflections, that we believe, can take Prozesky's life-long project, further. This is positioned in the social transformation paradigm.

Palabras clave : well-being; apartheid as heresy; explain religion; conscience ethics; religion and social transformation.
