FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE BARREL, OR CRITICALLY INVESTIGATING IT?

  • Louis Jonker Department of Old and New Testament Stellenbosch University

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.
