FROM THE EDITOR
Abstract
Interest in the literary aspects of the Bible and the accompanying hermeneutical issues is on the increase – as can be seen from this edition of Scriptura. The insights of modern literary theory are studied by more and more exegetes in order to gain a better understanding of Biblical material. This year’s annual meeting of the New Testament Society of SA will be devoted to hermeneutical issues under the general theme: Reading a text. Source – receptor – setting. A special guest at the meeting will be Professor Norman Petersen, well-known for his seminal work in opening up literary criticism for New Testament critics. After the meeting, Professor Petersen will visit several South African universities.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.
