Heading for a post-critical New Testament Science This essay is an investigation into the shifts which are taking place in New Testament scholarship in terms of scientific paradigms and epistemologies. It explores the relations between domain assumptions and the ontological, epistemological, social, teleological and methodological di mensions of critical and post-critical paradigms in use. It is an attempt to explain the underlying currents in contemporary developments in New Testament scholarship.
RELIEFDat daar gedurer\de die afgelope dekade 'n aantal verskuiwings op die gebied van die Nuwe-Testamentiese Wetenskap plaasgevind het, kan ons nouliks miskyk. Waar die navorsing in die afgelope eeu oorheers is deur die histories-kritiese benadering tot die Nuwe Testament, is dit nie vreemd om vandag in vakliteratuur sosiologiese, sosio-historiese, psigologiese, literêre, feministiese, materialistiese en ander interpretasies van die Nuwe Testament raak te loop nie. Hoe moet ons hierdie verskynsel beskou? Is dit bloot 'n proses van restourasie van die historiese bestudering van die Nuwe Testament soos sommige dink, of is daar iets anders op die gebied van die wetenskapsbedryf aan die gang waarvan ons kennis behoort te neem? Moet ons hierdie verskui wings verklaar in terme van veranderinge ten opsigte van wetenskapsbeskouinge, dit wil sê as die verskuiwing van perspektiewe waaruit die vakwetenskap bedryf kan word, of is dit bloot modeverskynsels? Ten einde enkele aspekte van die vrae toe te lig, gaan ek in hierdie opstel aan die hand van onder andere Kuhn (1970)
