| Riepilogo: | In honour of Prof Nico Botha, this article is a contextual reading of Luke 4:16-19. The article addresses social issues like poverty, captivity, oppression and bondage not only as the mission of Christ but in the context of the poor and the marginalized in the city of Tshwane. These are the same social ills that the homeless in the city of Tshwane experience in their everyday life. Literature review on the topic of social justice demonstrates a relationship between social justice and social poverty. It also demonstrates that homelessness is associated with social factors like unemployment, poverty and inequality. However, the literature review on social justice demonstrates the research gap in studying the subject from Luke 4:16-19. Equally so the context of Luke 4:16-19 demonstrates a research gap in applying the text in the context of the homeless in the city of Tshwane. To address the two research gaps, this article reads Luke 4:16-19 in the context of the homeless in the city of Tshwane. |
