In choosing the title for these reflections, I have attempted to note not only a transition in the occupant of the Chair of New Testament Language, Literature & Theology in the University of Edinburgh, but also the historic period in which this transition takes place, in the closing years of one millennium, approaching the threshold of a new one. In an effort to engage the interests of a wide circle of readers in various scholarly specialities, I have also chosen to discuss (though only in very limited depth) several major questions, each of which could occupy us for much longer than space here permits. I hope at least to underline their importance, and to sketch a rationale for the positions I shall advocate. I cannot hope that this sketch will persuade anyone not already inclined to my views, but I can perhaps indicate that they are not without reason. If a thorough treatment is not possible here, I shall at least endeavour to be clear, and this may better stimulate the reflections of others.

A G van Aarde as theologian (1979-) This article is an attempt to give a brief overview of the different theological points of departure of Van Aarde’s theological model, which has been lectured in the Department of New Testament Studies (Sec A) at the University of Pretoria since 1984. The ways in which this theological model are advocated are traced through his lectures, and his many scientific publications are also taken into consideration. From his theological model it is clear that, for Van Aarde, there is an indissoluble relationship between epistemology, methodology and teleology. In this connection, attention is given to the different epistemological, theological and hermeneutical presuppositions of his theological model. The conclusion is made that his theological model succeeds in being relevant and committed to reality with reference to the church in today’s mondial culture.

Following his outstanding tenure as Professor of New Testament Studies at the Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Joachim Jeremias died eleven years after his retirement in 1968 on the 6th September 1979. Renowned as an eminent Neutestamentler throughout the world, with his works translated into many languages, a Symposium was held at the University in Göttingen in October 2019 to celebrate Jeremias’s life and scholarship on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death. With contributions reflecting the breadth of his thinking and the depth of the affection in which he is still held, this particular contribution focussed on the Anglophone significance of Jeremias’s work not only as a Biblical scholar, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the world of the Bible, but also to his sometimes indirect but significant contribution to the work of the ecumenical movement and the formation of clergy.

J H J A Greyvenstein, Professor 1917-1945 - paving the way for a critical and historical understanding of the New Testament at the University of Pretoria J H J A Greyvenstein was the first lecturer in New Testament Studies at the TUC, which later became the University of Pretoria. His understanding of the New Testament witnesses to a critical and historical scientific consciousness. The aim of this article is to argue primarily from Greyvenstein’s lectures, given during the first years of theological training at the TUC, that he paved the way for studying the New Testament from a critical and historical exegetical perspective. This perspective was accompanied by faith that can be described as an absolute dependance on God in pursuance of Jesus’ sonship experience.

With this issue of New Testament Studies Professor Robin Wilson relinquishes the Editorship which he has held with great distinction since October 1977. He has been associated closely with the journal for a much longer period - in fact since the very first volume. From 1967 to 1977 he worked alongside Professor Matthew Black as Associate Editor. Almost immediately after taking up a teaching appointment at the University of St Andrews in 1954, the very year New Testament Studies first appeared, he began to help Professor Black with the journal. In the first volume he contributed a detailed review of the first full account in English of the Nag Hammadi documents. (NTS I, pp. 309–13). This is one of the many scholarly interests which, we hope, will continue to engage his attention in a long and happy retirement.

Considerable Loss

On 4 April 1917 the British steamship SS City of Paris was torpedoed by a German submarine in the Gulf of Lions, and sank with considerable loss of life. Among the passengers was the Wesleyan Methodist scholar James Hope Moulton.’ Paying tribute to his friend and colleague,Arthur Samuel Peake recorded the ‘tragic irony’ of the death under such circumstances of an eloquent advocate of peace and of a scholar whose international reputation in New Testament studies was signalled by plaudits from Harnack, a doctorate from the University of Berlin and a longstanding academic friendship with Adolf Deissmann. Moulton, however, was more than a New Testament scholar. His presence in the Mediterranean in the spring of 1917 came about through his expertise in the history and thought of Zoroastrianism, which had taken him to India for eighteen months’ work with the Parsee community under the auspices of the Indian YMCA.
