The rise and current state of New Testament research in South Africa: Part 3 - A critical evaluation First the pros and cons of the South African emphasis on methodology arw discussed. On the positive side a much greater sensitivity for methodological austerity has been developed. On the negative side New Testament research has not contributed enough towards serving theology and the church at large. In dealing with the problem of relevancy in the socio-political field, it is acknowledged that more should be done, without putting the specific character of New Testament studies in jeopardy. The burning issue of the relationship between faith and reason should be tackled. The correct approach seems to be respecting the tension between these two entities, while at the same time working and striving towards closing the gap between them.

The Relationship

Faith became a topic of discussion in the Western philosophical tradition on account of its prominence in the New Testament, where the having or taking up of faith is often urged by writers. The New Testament itself echoes both Hellenistic concepts of faith and older biblical traditions, specifically that of Abraham in the Book of Genesis. The subsequent attention of philosophers has been focused primarily on three topics: the nature of faith, the connection between God’s goodness and human responsibility, and the relation of faith to reason. Discussions on the nature of faith, from Aquinas to Tillich, have tried to examine the subject in terms of whether it is a particular form of knowledge, virtue, trust and so on. Regarding divine goodness, the argument has primarily focused on the relationship between faith and free will, and whether lack of faith is the responsibility of the individual or of God. Concerning the relation between faith and reason, there are two quite separate issues: the relation of faith to theorizing, and the rationality of faith. Aquinas in particular argued that faith is a necessary prerequisite for reasoning and intellectual activity, while later, John Locke explored the relationship between faith, reason and rationality, and concluded that faith can be reached through reason. This latter viewpoint was later heavily criticized by Wittgenstein and his followers.

The Internet is a cost-effective and efficient way of distributing information to  all stakeholders in a transparent, globalised business environment. The aim of  this study was to determine the current state and level of adoption of the Internet  as a delivery and communication mechanism for disseminating online/digital  annual reports in the largest listed companies in South Africa. The population  selected for the survey was the 2001 Financial Mail top 300 (SA Giants)  companies. The research was conducted by analysing the corporate websites of  the selected companies, to establish the existence of a corporate website and  whether the full annual report was available electronically. The study also  investigated the relationship between digital annual reports and company  characteristics. The investigation revealed that those companies with websites  and digital annual reports are profitable companies.

The Relationship

In a previous number of New Testament Studies (II(1957), 115–27), I argued that behind Ephesians i. 3–14 and I Peter i. 3–12 lie forms of liturgical prayer; that Ephesians as a whole might well be a Baptismal Encyclical; and that if this were so, the question of the priority of Colossians might have to be reconisdered.

Significant Point

The relationship between Saint Paul and the continent of Africa has never been a significant point of discussion in the New Testament studies. The same can be observed about other continents, even if the study of the Pauline corpus touches on some countries of Europe and the Middle East. The present article was triggered by the invitation of the Catholic Church to celebrate the 3rd millennium of Paul’s birthday during the period of June 2008 – June 2009, which was declared as the Year of Paul all over the world. It raises and discusses the question of relevance of Paul to Africa and vice versa in the light of intercultural exegesis.

This is the third and final part in a series of articles which examines the commercial monopoly in a major sports event such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, and its protection against ambush marketing by means of (specifically) domestic legislation. This part will continue the evaluation of the role of relevant constitutional guarantees in terms of the South African Bill of Rights, will consider the justification for the protection of commercial rights to such events, will briefly examine recent developments elsewhere in respect of the development of a ‘sports event organiser’s right’, and includes a concluding section with some critical evaluation of the legitimacy of the current state of the law in this regard in South Africa (and elsewhere).

Ideological Context

AbstractAn increasing number of historically oriented biblical scholars investigating the use of scripture in the New Testament are applying the term "intertextuality" as a descriptive category to refer to the relationship between written texts, primarily as the imbedding of fragments of earlier texts within later texts. The term is often used pragmatically as a substitute category for uncovering and investigating conscious or unconscious allusions to scripture in the New Testament. What is often lost in the process is the poststructuralist framework within which intertextuality arose and acquired its distinct meaning. In this essay I argue that intertextuality, as it is commonly understood in the poststructuralist context, is inimical to current historical critical inquiry. I present three major characteristics of intertextuality which historical critics have often failed to consider whenever they appropriate the term: (1) the ideological context wherein the term was coined; (2) the inherently related concept of text; and (3) the distinction between influence and intertextuality.

The Relationship

In two recent articles in New Testament Studies D. R. Catchpole and J. Lambrecht argue that Mark was familiar with Q while writing the introduction of his gospel. Consequently, they both use Mark as an additional tool in their reconstructions of the beginning of Q. In this study I shall focus on their evidence for this hypothesis in Mark 1.1–6. In the discussion of the relationship between Mark and Q this section is certainly not the most important one, but as a case study it illustrates dimensions of the larger problem.

Hermeneutical perspectives on violence in the New Testament This article discusses hermeneutical perspectives on violence in the New Testament as they appear in articles in this publication and in New Testament Studies in general. It contrasts the traditional perspective on the New Testament as book of peace with the growing insight in its violent nature. It is followed by a discussion of the multi-faceted nature of both notions of peace and violence and the various forms in which they are expressed. After an analysis of the relationship between violence and its alternatives, the various forms of violence are outlined in terms of their relationship to their experiential realities. This is followed by remarks about an adequate methodology for the study of violence, the way in which violence is countered in the New Testament texts and, finally, three possible explanations for the nature of violence.
