Ou-Testamentiese Wetenskap in die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk
Abstract
Old Testament scholarship in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk is characterized by three factors. The study of Semitic languages influences Old Testament scholarship to be a literary-historical, communication-orientated study of the Old Testament. The reformationorientated dialectical theology paradigm directs its results towards a pluriform existential relationship between God and man. In the framework of the university Old Testament scholarship stands in dialogue with the other theological disciplines and all the other sciences, presenting relevant values to the community.
