Abstract
Scriptura 24 marks the beginning of the ninth volume in the short history of the journal. This seems to be a good occasion for putting on a new jacket, and we hope that our subscribers will approve of the new format and the new appearance.It also gives us the opportunity to define more clearly the focus of the journal. The subtitle Journal of Bible and Theology in Southern Africa describes more accurately the wider interest which gradually evolved from the initial concentration of biblical studies as such. Although the latter will remain the basic point of departure, the interpretation of the biblical message for church and society will receive stronger emphasis.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.
