In an earlier Cambridge Paper (September 2006), a biblical Charter for Humanity was proposed within a relational framework. This second paper seeks to answer the question, How do we move towards relational well-being? The place where the Bible sets out the foundations required to create a society of right relationships in terms of structures, resources and processes is primarily in the law which God gives to Israel when it is first established as a nation. The paper explores how these institutional norms, as deepened and extended by the rest of biblical teaching, provide the basis for social transformation today.
Good piece well thought out.
Africa culture and traditions has been left out, even thought the writer is from Kenya. It is true that the Bible teaching has remained true and guide for my life, but culture and tradition of africa seems to be left out. No reference to african culture and tradition is mention in the article and or the bibliograpy, The notion that other including that of the Bible and New Testament times should never be left out. The Bible must remain transafarable to all cultures.
