| Summary: | Three distinguishable topics emerge in the six essays by Willem Vorster discussed in this article: 1. Context as a determining factor in the meaning of texts. 2. The way in which part of a text contributes to the meaning of the whole. 3. The significance of Jesus' Jewishness, specifically his Galilean Jewishness, as the context of communication for interpreting who he was. The common theme which runs through all of the essays is context as a determining factor in the expression of meaning. Characteristic of Vorster's work in these essays, as in all of his work, is not the promotion of final answers, even though he can be forceful in the expression of his views, but a call to methodological clarity in scholarship. |
