Abstract
This article is part of a larger research project that wrestles with the following question: 'What influence fo different contexts of social transformation have on the use of the Bible when Reformed Christian Churches respond to social issues?' The hypothesis is that different contexts of social transformation lead to different modes of Biblical interpretation. These modes range on a spectrum from legitimization to resistance (with accommodation and apology somewhere in between). In order to test this hypothesis four case studies are done from different contexts of social transformation. One of the case studies focuses on the Confession of Belhar (from now on just 'Belhar'). The issue is tackled in this article is how this Confession interpreted the Gospel of Luke in this particular context. The article intends to be mostly descriptive.
