Abstract
This article is about religion and the common good in a pluralistic society. It is argued with the pluralistic society of South Africa in mind. The theme is further argued against the background of reformed theology and asks about the contribution that reformed theology can make towards the common good in a pluralistic society.
Hierdie artikel is oor die rol van godsdiens in ‘n pluralistiese samelewing. Die redenasies vind plaas teen die agtergrond van die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing. Die beredenering vind ook plaas teen die agtergrond van Gereformeerde teologie en die vraag word gevra watter bydrae Gereformeerde teologie kan maak tot die algemene welsyn in ‘n pluralistiese samelewing.
