Abstract

The publication of several series of theological commentaries since the year 2000 marked theentrance of the discipline Theological interpretation of the Bible on the hermeneutical front. Alack of well-developed methodological considerations, underlying the practice of Theologicalinterpretation of the Bible has, however, handicapped the theological interpretation of Bibletexts. It is the aim of this article to contribute to the development thereof. Three meta-hermeneutical aspects that make up the broad methodological foundation of Theologicalinterpretation of the Bible, namely metaphysics, epistemology and ethics are explored.

’n Hermeneutiek vir Teologiese interpretasie van die Bybel: Metodologiese besinning. Affiliation: 1Department of Old Testament Studies, Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Verskeie pogings is reeds aangewend om die tekort aan te spreek, maar daar is baie ruimte vir die ontwikkeling van hierdie benadering tot die Bybelteks – veral in terme van die metodologiese onderbou onderliggend aan Teologiese interpretasie.. Die bedoeling hier is nie om ’n globale perspektief aan te bied van wat aan die gang is binne Ou-Testamentiese wetenskap as navorsingsveld nie, maar wat hier aangebied word, is beperk tot die ontwikkeling van die spesifieke dissipline Teologiese interpretasie van die Bybel. 3.Die skopus van hierdie artikel is nie die ontwikkeling van ’n Ou-Testamentiese teologie nie, maar ’n bydrae tot die ontwikkeling van die metodologiese onderbou van Teologiese interpretasie van die Bybel as ’n afsonderlike dissipline wat die teologiese interpretasie van spesifieke Bybeltekste as oogmerk het. Dit is egter belangrik om nadenke en die gesprek rondom metodologiese oorwegings ten opsigte van Teologiese interpretasie krities te assesseer
