Abstract

The historical critical method in perspective The historical critical method has made a major contribution to the scientific study of the Bible, especially since the 18th century. The historical critical method, influenced by 19thcentury positivistic and evolusionistic principles of the natural sciences has mainly concentrated on the intention of the original author, the original situation and the growth of the text. The text as it stands has to a large extent been neglected. In reaction to this the text-immanent and structuralistic approaches emerged during the 20th century. The ideal situation would be to combine the three basic elements of the communication process, i.e. the author, the text and the reader in a complementary exegetical model.

Ver terug as die Renaissance wat in die 15de eeu n.C. in Italië begin het en wat onder andere 'n hernude belangstelling in die bestudering van die klassieke oudheid teweeggebring het
Die Reformasie doen weg met die sogenaamde viervoudige Skrifinterpretasie en die klem val op die letterlike betekenis van die Skrif, die sogenaamde sensus Hteralis

Summary

Introduction

The historical critical method has made a major contribution to the scientific study of the Bible, especially since the 18th century. Dit was egter veral die Reform asie van die 16de eeu — by name die rol van Luther en Calvyn — wat beskou moet word as die voorbereiding vir die histories-kritiese metode wat eers veel later sou kom.
