The role of historical-critical methodology in African Old Testament studies

Core, context and culture: The hermeneutical significance of context and liminality

The group consists of scholars connected to the School of Mission and Theology either as teachers or doctoral students. Our focus is the relation and interaction between message and culture. What we want to do, is to contribute toward an understanding of how contemporary culture and local context shape the interpretation of faith and scripture. In addition, we want to look at if and how the interpretation by virtue of its content may transcend the context and achieve universal significance. This is to be carried out through, among other things, studies of cross-cultural encounters and groups in transition. While the research problem is of universal relevance, we still want to generate knowledge that can be helpful for the mediating of the Christian message today.
