Abstract
The Reformation and the interpretation of the Scriptures
 
 The aim of this article is to emphasize new trends in the interpretation of the Scriptures that were brought about by the Reformation and that were consequently made possible for the future. Reformation thinking and modern and contemporary thinking are compared and analyzed in order to establish the consequences of the openness created by the Reformation, in response to Medieval objectified thinking in which the Church always had a final and an arrived definition and statement. What should therefore be avoided is the misconception that Reformation thinking represented an arrived and stagnated way of doing theology.

Summary
The aim of this article is to emphasize new trends in the interpretation of the Scriptures that were brought about by the Reformation and that were made possible for the future. Dit beteken dat ons in die postmoderne denke nie na meer kan strewe nie as om subjektief deel te probeer wees van dit wat gemoeid is met die waarheid (vgl Labuschagne 2007:45-48).
