Abstract

LOMBAARD, C.J.S.. Graphic text, graphic depiction - Genesis 22 and its interpretation on a Louvre miniature plaque. Missionalia (Online) [online]. 2019, vol.47, n.3, pp.255-268. ISSN 2312-878X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7832/47-3-339.

In this contribution in honour of colleague Nico Botha, the habit of debate between him and the author is here continued, namely of discussing Bible text and current interpretation. That model of dialogical engagement is used here to enlarge the understanding, through an artwork in the Louvre, the interpretation possibilities of one of the most disturbing Bible passages, Genesis 22.

Keywords : Nico Botha; Bible text and understanding; Genesis 22 and art.
