Abstract

CONRADIE, Ernst M.. A journal for biblical, theological and / or contextual hermeneutics?. Scriptura [online]. 2020, vol.119, n.3, pp.1-10. ISSN 2305-445X.  https://doi.org/10.7833/119-3-1692.

This contribution reflects on the current sub-title of the journal Scriptura, namely "Journal for Biblical, Theological andHermeneutics ". 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.

Keywords : Biblical hermeneutics; Contextual hermeneutics; Scriptura; Theological hermeneutics.
