| Summary: | This article presents a summary of a research project taking place in the Western Cape of South Africa at the moment. The project depicts South African society as a society that has come a long way since 1990 to accepting multiculturality. However, it argues that a move towards interculturality has not necessarily taken place at the same time. The project begins with the hypothesis that a development of hermeneutical skills among Christian communities of reading the Bible together with 'the other' could contribute significantly towards the fostering of interculturality in the broader South African society. Additionally, it is hypothesized that the studying of the dynamics of intercultural Bible reading could provide us with better insight into the dynamics of a shift from multiculturality to interculturality in South African society. |
