Authentic Witness in Religious Life: A Case Study of The Sisters of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus

Abstract

The key terms of the topic are the two key words "authentic" and "witness" and this chapter will be base on them. My intention is to investigate in this chapter the meaning of authentic witness, beginning by defining and mentioning briefly on the separate words in order to come to a concrete meaning of authentic. To deepen and support this meaning I will also look into the Biblical and African understanding of authentic witness. This is in attempt to answer the question What is an authentic witness? In this section I will like to give a brief explanation of the meaning of authentic witness. Then at the end I will come with a definition of authentic witness.
