"Om die Bybel sensitief en in sy rykdom te lees" - in gesprek met Amie van Wyk Translated title: "To read the Bible sensitively and in its richness" - in conversation with Amie van Wyk

Abstract

In antwoord op Prof. J.H. van Wyk se resensie op Gerrie Snyman se boek "Om die Bybel anders te lees: 'n etiek van Bybellees" (2007) herlei die skrywer die kritiek na die saak van kontekstualiteit wat genoodsaak word die moment wanneer die menslike aspek in die Bybelleesproses te berde kom. Konteks word teenoor 'n objektivistiese benadering gestel. Die artikel kyk verder na aspekte van rasionaliteit, Pneumatologie, Christologie en die teologiese regverdiging van apartheid saam met die teologiese motivering om die vroue in die GKSA uit die amp van ouderling en predikant te weer as toetssteen vir 'n ander manier van Bybellees.

Translated abstract

In response to Prof. J.H. van Wyk's review of Gerrie Snyman's book "Om die Bybel anders te lees: 'n etiek van Bybellees" (2007) the authorproposes that the issue is contextuality, neccesitated the moment the human aspect rears its head in the process of reading the Bible. Contextuality is juxtaposed with an objectivist approach. The article also inquires into aspects of rationality, Pneumatology, Christology and the theological justification of apartheid together with the theological justification of keeping women in the RCSA from the offices of elder and minister as a test case for reading the Bible differently.
