Kerkvernuwing in die lig van Bybelse begrippe vir die kerk
Abstract
In the process of church renewal as a modern phenomenon in ecclesiology, three premises are important. Firstly, church renewal must always be considered in view of a sound biblical concept of the church. Sociological factors alone are not sufficient in this regard. Secondly, paradigms for church renewal should be evaluated on the basis of a sound biblical paradigm. Thirdly, an extensive exposition of the meaning of the various biblical concepts of the church is necessary to avoid one-sidedness and distortions.
