Description
Summary:Special Edition: Understanding the Old Testament in South Africa. South African Old Testament scholarship was born in the cradle of European and American scholarship and has grown to suffer from a lack of truly theological reflection as well as an inferiority complex that has made scholars lose sight of or underestimate the unique contribution the African perspective can make to the field of study. A plea is made for scholars to 'Africanise ' Old Testament studies with a view to truly contributing to the international discussion.
