A JOURNAL FOR BIBLICAL, THEOLOGICAL AND / OR CONTEXTUAL 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.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.
