1 & 2 Chronicles (Understanding the Bible Commentary Series)

By: Louis C. Jonker

Louis Jonker's section-by-section commentary on 1-2 Chronicles is the newest volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series. This user-friendly commentary series helps readers navigate the sometimes difficult terrain of the Bible. These volumes offer solid research in an accessible way, breaking down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become clear to contemporary readers. The contributors tackle the task of interpretation using the full range of critical methodologies and practices, yet they do so as people of faith who hold the text in the highest regard. In this commentary, Jonker reads 1-2 Chronicles as literature which negotiates a new socio-religious identity in a period of political transition.

Defining All-Israel in Chronicles

Multi-levelled Identity Negotiation in Late Persian-Period Yehud

By: Louis C. Jonker

In this book, Louis C. Jonker considers more sophisticated and nuanced models for applying the heuristic lens of "identity" in the interpretation of the Hebrew Bible book of Chronicles. Not only does he investigate the potential and limitations of different sociological models for this purpose, but the author also provides a more nuanced analysis of the socio-historical context of origin of late Persian-period biblical literature by distinguishing between four levels of socio-historic existence in this period. It is shown that varying power relations were in operation on these different levels which contributed to a multi-levelled process of identity negotiation. Louis C. Jonker shows the value of the chosen methodological approach in his analysis of Chronicles, but also suggests that it holds potential for the investigation of other Hebrew Bible corpora.

Exclusivity and Variety

Perspectives on Multidimensional Exegesis

By: Louis C. Jonker

The present state of the exegetical discipline is characterized in this book by the exploration of the concepts exclusivity and variety. There is variety not only in the numerous methods and approaches, but also in variants in methodological application, hermeneutical presuppositions, confessional and dogmatic specialization areas and the increasingly volume of scholarly literature. To escape the abyss of variety, exegetes often resort to exclusivistic claims, sometimes deliberately. The main interest of this book is methodological, with the implication that the discussion is limited to the variety of exegetical methodologies. The working hypothesis is that a multidimensional and/or integrational aproach to exegesis can evade the dangers of exclusivity and variety. Various theoretical guidelines, which should be taken into consideration in this discussion, are filtered out from previous attempsts in this regard. Two methodologies, namely a historical-critical one and a narrative one, are used as examples in this investigation. In order to investigate the practical implementation of these methodologies, the Samson Cycle (Judges 13-16) is analyzed. Subsequently, both methodologies are evaluated to the theoretical guidelines formulated earlier. The multidimensional and/or integrational possibilities of these methodologies are then scrutinized. The investigation leads to the formulation of three models which may serve as guidelines for further discussion on this topic. Preference is given to an adapted communication model which serves as a hermeneutical 'map' on which exegetical methodologies can be 'plotted'. It is proposed that the operative factor of such a communication model is a reading strategy which consists of two components, namely (I) a specialized component and (II) a competence component

Herinnering & Verlange

Gesprekke oor Mag, Geskiedenis en die Bybel

By: Louis C Jonker

n Nostalgiese reis styg uit die pen van prof. Louis C. Jonker oor sy eie herinnering aan en verlange na die leermeesters wat hom help vorm het, sy eie ontwaking as bybelwetenskaplike, en sy bediening in die NG kerk. Hy verken ook sy innerlike stryd in hierdie verskillende tydperke. Die uitvloeisel hiervan is 'n mengsel van historiese novelle, biografie, persoonlike memoires en die akademiese skryfsels van prof. Ferdinand Deist, Biskop John Colenso, prof. Johannes du Plessis en ook die van Jonker. Die vertellings - wat soms aan speelse fantasie grens - word in die boek afgewissel met toegeligte uittreksels uit vakliteratuur deur, en oor, die vier gespreksgenote. Uiteindelik lewer Jonker hiermee belangrike kommentaar oor die huidige stand van Bybelinterpretasie in Suid-Afrika.
