FROM THE EDITOR
Abstract
The focus of this issue is on matters of interception. Eugene Botha shows how insights from speech act theory can be used in an attempt to explain a difficult verse like John 4:16. Gerald West contracts the hermeneutical approach of Mosala and Boesak to the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate the differences between reading as a critic and as an; ordinary reader’ in a context of crisis. Johan Engelbrecht attempts to clarify the expression ‘the style of Matthew, and to show what can be learned from the field of general stylistics. Jasper Burden sketches a profile of first year Biblical Studies at Unisa, showing the multi-dimensional composition of the student body and the demands it places on teaching and learning. Theo Badenhorst concludes with a discussion of some key aspects in Gollwitzer’s theology.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.
