Injured moral souls in ‘democratic’ South Africa: Towards a practical theological theoretical model of well-being

Résumé

This article focused on emerging theoretical insights of moral and/or soul injury. The aim was to build a multidisciplinary practical theological theoretical framework. The evolving topic is introduced, followed by general perspectives on moral injury. Vaknin and Ne’ eman-Haviv’s theoretical model frames the scope, impact and therapeutic possibilities for moral injury. Limitations of theoretical and empirical frameworks are discussed, followed by theological and biblical perspectives on moral injury. Finally, a practical theological theoretical model for moral and/or soul injury is proposed, followed by the conclusion. Contribution: Moral and/or soul injury is a novel subject in practical theology or theology; since it has not previously been explored in the sphere of practical theology. This is a multidisciplinary reflection on moral and/or soul injury beyond silo psychological clinical praxes. Insights from multi-disciplines helped to shape a practical theology theoretical framework with fundamental biblical perspectives. The context is contemporary leadership, political, and social challenges in South Africa.
