Adoption of a new confession is a rare event in church history. This book offers an astute inside look at the contemporary Belhar Confession, which arose out of the struggle against apartheid and was drafted in 1982 by the “colored” Dutch Reformed Mission Church in South Africa.

With clarity and passion Piet Naude presents and comments on the Belhar texts themselves, explores the historical background and theological significance of Belhar, and discusses its continuing reception throughout the world. He also relates the Belhar Confession’s relevance to such current global issues as gender relations, economic justice, and the HIV/AIDS crisis.

The only up-to-date English-language book on the Belhar Confession – which is gaining significant recognition among North American churches – Neither Calendar nor Clock ultimately shows how this singular African confession powerfully articulates the gospel for the universal church today.
