South Africa has had three periods of historiographical change. As South Africa has transitioned from colonialism, to apartheid, to democracy, historiography has been influenced by those in power. Post-1994 and with the onset of a democratic government, the Nation sought to create a new historiographical framework. However, as this attempt to build a National historiography developed questions could be raised as to whether this historiography was inclusive of a variety of sources? This dissertation looks at three areas regarding South African historiography. First, the current role of Churches in South Africa in fostering historiography. Second, the theological framework of "Ras, Volk en Nasie", the "Kairos Document", and the "Belhar Confession". Third, the depiction of South Africa by the Church of Scotland's National magazine "Life and Work" during 1975 – 1985. By looking at this time period, the thesis shows that as various strands of theology developed in South Africa, these changes had connotations within the Church of Scotland. Life and Work shows a distinct change in attitude towards the Dutch Reformed Church and the Black Consciousness movement. It argues that underrepresented stories about South Africa allow for a holistic historiography. Churches in South Africa have an opportunity to use their position within society to develop this holistic historiography and thus, historiography becomes a practical theological issue. ae2025 Church History and Church Policy MTh Unrestricted SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2017-06-28T13:38:05Z 2017-06-28T13:38:05Z 2017-04-06 2017 Dissertation Taylor, JW 2017, The "life and work" of South African Historiography, MTh Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/61207> A2017 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/61207 en © 2017 University of Pretoria.
