Die Perfeksionisme: ’n apologetiese en etiese beoordeling

Abstract

For ages the term Perfectionism had only been applied to imply perfect holiness, but was later used to imply perfect health and, since the beginning of the twentieth century, to perfect prosperity. In this article the viewpoints of the proponents of Perfectionism and what they attempt to attain are investigated. Secondly, these viewpoints are tested against Scripture and the Reformational confession. Thirdly, the findings are evaluated in the light of Scripture.
