Re-visiting Bernard Huss'model of Social Transformation
History is full of different strategies which have been employed by individuals, community organisations, governments and the Church to address the challenges of poverty and underdevelopment. This book explores Bernard Huss' and some of the other strategies which he employed to address the socio-economic poverty of black people during the colonial era in South Africa. Bernard Huss contributed immensely to the education and socio-economic development of black people in South Africa in the 1920s and 1930s. For Huss, the poverty of black people was conspicuous at their homes, fields and basic social relations, hence he coined his approach: "Better homes, Better fields, Better hearts." Huss believed that, for a solution to be found, an accurate diagnosis of the causes of poverty and underdevelopment of black people which also resulted in civil unrest had to be made. When analysing the problem Huss discovered that Africa was actually endowed with numerous treasures, yet her people were languishing in abject poverty.

Christianity in South Africa
"At a strategic time in South Africa's history, the Christian history which is absolutely basic to all developments, is presented in a comprehensive and objective way. Too little attention is given to the influence of religion in socio-political accounts. This is a creative and much-needed contribution to scholarship and general knowledge. . . . An outstanding work."--Dean S. Gilliland, Fuller Theological Seminary

Guardian of the Light
"Denis Hurley was not born in a lighthouse as some people imagine. His father was the keeper of the lighthouse at Cape Point, the guardian of the light that warns the sailors of dangers and guides them away from destruction. Now the son did not follow in his father's footsteps. But he became a lighthouse keeper too; the guardian of the light that warns of dangers and saves us from destruction. The lighthouse has become a symbol of light and hope and our Archbishop has been doing this work of warning and guiding for the greater part of his [life]. And he has done it with great faithfulness for which today we give thanks." - Alan Paton, author of Cry the Beloved Country (Vintage, 2002) Born in Cape Town in 1915 of Irish parents, Dennis Hurley became the youngest Catholic bishop in the world in 1947 at 31 and would later come to be regarded, along with Desmond Tutu, as one of the South African state's "most wanted" political opponents. His inspiring life as a courageous opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime for over 50 years and as a champion of the reforms and spirit of Vatican II is chronicled in this indispensable work.
