| Summary: | Soon after my appointment as OT lecturer at the University of South Africa in 1987 my colleagues and I decided to rewrite the first year course for OT studies at the University of South Africa. We wanted to develop a course which was different from similar university courses. We decided to introduce our students to the field of OT studies by means of a theme that would reflect something of the world in which they live. We focused on wealth and poverty and how it manifested in the ancient Israelite society and how it manifests in our modern South African society. We hoped that our students would not only gain knowledge about the OT books and the ancient Israelite society but also about our own society. We also hoped that this information would encourage them to reflect critically on what is transpiring in our world. We eventually published a text book with the title Plutocrats and Paupers: Wealth and Poverty in the Old Testament (Pretoria, 1991). |
