Maar wanneer is by aan God geboorsaam? Met bierdie vrae kom ons by die hart van Heyns se koninkryks- en geboorsaamheidsetiek uit: die mens doen die wil van God, vervul sy roeping en beantwoord aan sy bestemming indien en wanneer by die bestaans- en bandebngswyse van God weerspieëP
Summary
Asked to write an essay on the ethics o fJohan Heyns, the author claims that at the heart o f this ethics lies the idea o f analogical existence, derived from the fact that man is created in the image o f God. Nie net as prolegomena vir die totale teologie en etiek bring Heyns die lewens- en wêreldbeskouing ter sprake nie, maar selfs by onderafdelings soos byvoorbeeld by die behandeling van die mediese etiek^? Selfs al word die Skrif as gesagvolle openbaring van God aanvaar, is daarmee nie alle probleme vir die etiek opgelos nie.
