Johannes Coccejus en Campegius Vitringa se beginsels vir die uitleg van Jesaja en die Kaap

Abstract

<strong>Johannes Coccejus and the Principles of Exegesis of Isaiah by Campegius Vitringa and the Cape</strong><br /> A survey is given of the work of Vitringa (1658�1722) and Coccejus (1603�1668) especially in the Old Testament field. Both scholars laid emphasis on the necessity of grammatical study and to try and understand what is written. Coccejus works out a system of interpretation of Scripture by accepting that God's revelation was given in different covenants of a progressive nature. It is important to consider history in each progressive step. In this he is followed by Vitringa.
