1 & 2 Chronicles -a discourse of powerThis study compares Chronicles with its source documents. It is obvious that the authors of Chronicles omitted certain parts of the source documents on the other hand on the other emphasized certain aspects with a specific purpose. The result is that the Southern kingdom receives a positive evaluation, while the Northern kingdom is described in a negative light. David is presented as the ideal king and in contrast to Exodus is credited as the founder of the religious cult. The cult in Jerusalem is legitimized and proclaimed as the only true religion. In so doing the books of Chronicles without a doubt secured and legitimized the position and actions of the temple personnel. As long as the temple existed it functioned as a discourse of power within this community. As a discourse of power, it set boundaries and excluded different groups that were traditionally part of the people of YHWH. The destruction of the temple though, disempowered this text and opened up the way for it to become part of the Hebrew canon. INLEIDINGStudie van taal en tekste het die afgelope dekades nuwe wyses van verstaan en verklaring moontlik gemaak. Impulse uit die filosofie het grootliks bygedra tot hierdie vernuwing. Ontwikkeling op die terrein van die taalfilosofie het meegebring dat begrippe soos "intertekstualiteit", "meesternarratief" en "kontranarratief", 2 (om maar enkeles te noem) 'n belangrike plek gekry het in die navorsing van literatuur en die gepaardgaande diskussies daaroor.1 Die artikel is 'n verwerking van 'n deel van die DD-proefskrif van Ananda Geyser, voorberei onder promotorskap van prof dr A P B Breytenbach, emeritus professor, Departement OuTestamentiese Wetenskap, Universiteit van Pretoria.2 Die beperktheid van die studie maak dit onmoontlik om al die navorsing wat nodig was om die terme te definieer, weer te gee. Die bronne wat geraadpleeg is, is onder andere: Kristeva
Van der Leeuw and Noordmans on theology: Religious-scientific backgrounds on the conversation. In this theological-historical study the question arises on the value of religious studies for theology. An outline - mainly of Prof G van der Leeuw's and Dr 0 Noordmans's views - is given in the article, and the following arguments are highlighted: the effect of Van der Leeuw's phenomenological background on his thought regarding the praxis of the church, especially the liturgy; the dialogue between Van der Leeuw and Noordmans, and the effect of this conversation on the theories as well as the practical implications thereof. A position midway between these two may be utilised for liturgical renovation.
