Resumen

VAN NIEKERK, Anton A.. Geloof sonder sekerhede: Perspektiewe op die gesprek met Ernst Conradie. STJ [online]. 2018, vol.4, n.1, pp.503-541. ISSN 2413-9467.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2018.v4n1.ro1.

This article continues the discussion with Ernst Conradie in view of his earlier and critical review of the revised edition of Anton van Niekerk's book Geloof sonder sekerhede [Faith without certainties]. The author provides further clarity on his notion of the nature of religious faith which, for him, essentially coincides with the life of love proclaimed and demonstrated by Jesus of Nazareth. The rest of the article contains Van Niekerk's analyses of the three "creative tensions" that Conradie identified in his original discussion of the book. These are the alleged tensions between orthodoxy and orthopraxis, between faith and certainty, as well as between scientific knowledge and the knowledge of faith. Most attention is paid to the last tension which, according to Van Niekerk, reveals an unfounded metaphysical presupposition in Conradie's position, as well as the yielding of too much intellectual territory to scientism in Conradie's insistence on the ontological continuity between God and creation.

Palabras clave : Faith; certainty; Conradie; Van Niekerk.
