Implikasies van 'n postmodernistiese lees van die Ou Testament vir die terreine van die teologie, die bybelwetenskap, die publiek en die kerk
Abstract
Traditionally textual analysis of the Old Testament is done within a modernist
framework. However, a postmodernist approach opens up new avenues in this
regard. The reading strategy of critical deconstruction, based on the premise chat
meaning in a cext is not fixed but is rather something elusive of which only traces
can be found in a text, creates exciting possibilities for the reading of the Hebrew
Bible. This reading strategy has implications when applied to the Bible. Besides the
implications for textual meaning, this approach also has implications for biblical
science, the public and the church.
