Weer eens: Eksegetiese Metodes

Abstract

<strong>Once again: Exegetical methods</strong><br /> This article is the result of conversations with leading Old Testament scholars in The Netherlands and in Germany. These conversations once again emphasise that there is not one single prevailing exegetical method which is followed in general. Although certain "schools", in which a specific exegetical model dominates, can be identified, enough scope for the practise of other methods is offered. Most exegetes are of the opinion that both synchronic and diachronic aspects can be combined in one exegetical model.
