FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE BARREL, OR CRITICALLY INVESTIGATING IT?
Abstract
In this article Nürnberger’s project to develop a theology of the biblical witness2 is lauded for its insistence on the dynamism of the biblical text that cannot be captured in any one specific historical context. However, it is also indicated in this article that Nürnberger often falls prey to those dangers that he himself has indicated. It is agued that his approach imposes “from above” a heuristic framework onto the biblical witnesses which is too selective, optimistic and linear.Authors retain copyright and grant the Journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this Journal.
