A JOURNAL FOR BIBLICAL, THEOLOGICAL AND / OR CONTEXTUAL HERMENEUTICS?

  • Ernst M. Conradie University of the Western Cape
Keywords: Biblical hermeneutics, Contextual hermeneutics, Scriptura, Theological hermeneutics

Abstract

This contribution reflects on the current sub-title of the journal Scriptura, namely “Journal for Biblical, Theological and Hermeneutics”. It shows that this has been a core interest of the journal over a period of forty years. It also discusses the methodological tensions between these three forms / aspects of hermeneutics – to the point where one may wonder whether the “and” in the subtitle could be understood as “or”. It does not propose a way forward but commends Scriptura for offering the space to explore such tensions further in the South African context.
