Authority and interpretation in the book of JonahJardine, Graham Walter 02 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2000 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The issue addressed in this study and its hypothesis are outlined in chapter one, and
concern the general problem of variety in theological interpretation of the Bible. Specifically,
the research problem is identified with the existence of different readings of
Jonah as Scripture, and the need for these readings to be authoritative. A secondary
issue has to do with the role of author's intention in theological interpretation. The
hypothesis of this study states that the existence of various models of Scriptural authority
can account in part for the different ways that interpreters produce meaning in the
text of Jonah, by appealing to the one aspect of the text which is thought to be authoritative.
In chapter two the concept of scriptural authority is defined. The writings of
theologians who have expressed authority in terms of models is compared and contrasted.
A synthesis is attempted which aims at providing a definition of each model of
authority with which to analyse the theological interpretations of select authors. In this
chapter, the main focus is on the different ways that the Bible is regarded as authoritative
in the church.
Chapter three provides an analysis of three Jonah commentaries each written from the
perspective of one of the models of authority. The specific way in which each author
understands the meaning of Jonah is identified through a consideration of the exegetical
arguments. The single aspect of the text which is taken to be decisive in the articulation
of the understanding of the theological message is traced in the author's argument. The
interpretation is then compared with the definition of the particular model assumed to
be underlying the exegesis.
The final chapter consists of an evaluation of the validity of the central hypothesis;
some concluding remarks concerning the role of author's intention in authoritative
interpretation; and an identification of areas for further research. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: OUTORITEIT EN INTERPRETASIE IN DIE BOEK JONA
Die probleemstelling en hipotese van hierdie studie kry in hoofstuk een aandag. Die
probleem het te doen met die verskeidenheid teologiese interpretasies van die Bybel.
Die spesifieke navorsingsprobleem word met die bestaan van verskillende verklarings
in die boek Jona wat gelees is as die Heilige Skrif, geidentifiseer. 'n Sekondere saak
het met die rol van die outeur se bedoeling in 'n teologiese interpretasie te doen. Die
hipotese wat die studie rig, se dat die verskillende maniere hoe vertolkers die bedoeling
uit die boek Jona kry, teruggevoer kan word na die bestaan van verskeie modelle van
skriftuurlike outoriteit. Dit gebeur omdat 'n enkele aspek van die teks as outoriter
behandel word.
Die bepaling van skriftuurlike outoriteit word in hoofstuk twee behandel. Die resultate
van teoloe wat outoriteit as modelle beskrywe het word vergelyk en teenoorgestel. Die
modelle is saamgestel tot 'n definisie van elke model van outoriteit om die teologiese
interpretasies van sekere outeurs te ontleed. Die hoofbrandpunt van hierdie hoofstuk is
die verskillende maniere waarop die Bybel as outoriter in die Kerk verskyn.
Hoofstuk drie bestaan uit 'n ontleding van drie kommentare van die boek Jona wat
vanuit die perspektief van 'n spesifieke model beskou kan word. Die manier waarop
elke outeur Jona verstaan word geidentifiseer deur 'n oorweging van die eksegetiese
argumente. Die enkele aspek van die teks wat bepaal hoe die teologiese boodskap verstaan
is, word vervolg in die argument van die outeur. Die definisie van die spesifieke
model wat die outeur blykbaar aanvaar, word daarna vergelyk met die interpretasie.
In die slothoofstuk word 'n evaluering van die geldigheid van die sentrale hipotese
opgeneem; verskeie slotopmerkings betreffende die rol van die outeur se voornemens in
gesaghebbende verklaring; en die identifisering van velde vir verdere ondersoek.

Die Jona-verhaal in geselekteerde Christelik-Latynse letterkundeRademeyer, Johanna Cornelia 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die boek Jona in die Ou Testament fassineer sowel geleerdes uit verskeie dissiplines, as gewone Bybel-gelowiges al vir eeue lank. Ten spyte van die beperkte lengte en verhaal-inhoud, bestaan daar 'n ongekende aantal uiteenlopende interpretasies van die Klein Profete-boek, as gevolg van die verskillende benaderingswyses waarop dit gedurende verskillende eras en in 'n verskeidenheid van intellektuele kontekste benader en gei:nterpreteer is. 'n Sinvolle ondersoek na en beoordeling van die verskillende interpretasie-benaderings, met die oog op die uiteindelike formulering van die universele boodskap van die verhaal van Jona, behoort te begin by die logiese beginpunt, naamlik
die vroee Kerkvaders.
Hierdie studie konsentreer daarom op die interpretasies en toepassings van die verhaal van Jona deur die vroee Latynse Kerkvaders van die derde tot die vyfde eeue nC. Vanwee hul hoofsaaklik nai:ef-realistiese kenhouding, het hulle oor die algemeen nie die historiese akkuraatheid van die Jona-verhaal betwyfel nie. Onder die invloed van sowel die Hebreeuse interpretasie-tradisie as die vroee Griekse Kerkvaders, het hulle Jona hoofsaaklik op tipologiese en allegoriese wyse geinterpreteer. Die uitgangspunt vir die tipologiese interpretasie, waarvolgens Jona beskou word as 'n tipe ofvoorafskaduwing van Jesus Christus (die anti-tipe), is die sogenaamde "Teken van Jona" in die Nuwe Testament. Vir die doel van hierdie studie is die Kerkvader Hieronymus se kommentaar op die boek Jona in geheel vertaal en bestudeer, as verteenwoordigend van die interpretasie-benadering van die Latynse Kerkvaders. Daarna is korter fragmente bestudeer uit die kommentare van Hilarius van Poitiers en Ambrosius van Milaan oor Bybelpassasies waarin Jona self, of aspekte uit die verhaal, figureer. Vervolgens is daar ook ondersoek ingestel na die toepassing van die Jona-verhaal in geselekteerde fragmente uit die vroeg-Christelike poesie en epistolografie.
Die gevolgtrekking waartoe hierdie studie gekom het, is dat die belangrikste bydrae deur die geselekteerde outeurs tot die corpus van Jona-interpretasies, gelee is in hul be grip en formulering van die universele genade-boodskap van Jona, en in hul toepassing van sekere kernaspekte uit die verhaal, as exempla of illustrasies, waardeur bepaalde waarhede aan die orde gestel is en spesifieke boodskappe oorgedra is. Gesien binne die bree konteks van gesofistikeerde
interpretasie-benaderings tot en literer-wetenskaplike teoriee oor die verhaal van Jona, het die vroeg-Latynse outeurs tog ook, ten spyte van hul eenvoudiger werkswyses, die kernboodskap van Jona korrek gei:nterpreteer en treffend weergegee, en deur middel van hul tipologiese
interpretasies van die verhaal, 'n sinvolle bydrae gelewer tot die eeue-lange geskilpunt rondom die historisiteit van Jona. / For many centuries the book of Jonah, one of the collection of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament, has fascinated both scholars from various disciplines, as well as ordinary laymen. Due to the various ways in which it was interpreted during different eras and in different intellectual contexts, there exist a plethora of divergent interpretations of this book, in spite of its limited length and contents. With a view to formulating the universal message of the story of Jonah, a meaningful review of all these approaches should start with the early Church Fathers, the most logical startingpoint.
This study therefore concentrates on the interpretations and applications of the story ofJonah, by some of the Fathers of the Latin church from the third to the fifth century AD. Owing to their mainly naive-realistic cognitive approach, they in general did not doubt the historicity of the
Jonah-narrative. Influenced by both the Hebrew tradition and the Greek Fathers, they mainly interpreted the story of Jonah allegorically and typologically. Their typological interpretation, based on the so-called "Sign of Jonah", depicts the prophet Jonah as the type or prefiguration of
Jesus Christ (the anti-type). For this study Saint Jerome's commentary on the book of Jonah, was translated and studied in its entirety, as a useful representative of the interpretative framework of the early Latin Fathers. Some shorter fragments from Saint Hilary of Poitiers' and some of Saint Ambrose's commentaries on Biblical passages, in which Jonah or specific aspects from the story figure, were also studied. Finally some fragments from early Christian Latin poetry and epistolography were selected with a view to studying the different applications of the Jonah narrative in patristic literature.
The study arrived at the conclusion that the most important contribution of the selected Christian Latin authors to the corpus of Jonah-interpretations is in their understanding and formulation of Jonah's universal message of grace, as well as in their application of the narrative, in the form of exempla, with a view to illustrating and emphasising certain aspects or truths. Seen in the broad context of sophisticated interpretative approaches to and literary theories on the story of Jonah, the Fathers of the Latin church did interpret the message of Jonah correctly, in spite of their more simple approaches, and they conveyed this message in striking ways. In addition to this, their
typological interpretations added yet another interesting perspective to the age-long dispute about the historicity of the Jonah-narrative. / Classics & Modern European Languages / D.Litt. et Phil. (Latin)

Playing Jonah's Hand: PoemsDyer, Gregory A. 05 1900 (has links)
Playing Jonah's Hand: Poems is a collection of poems with a critical introduction. The introduction consists of two independent essays, both of which examine intersections between poetry and Christian theology. In the first essay I identify the imaginative faculty as the primary source of agency for the speaker in John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." Working upon Barbara Lewalski's assertion that these sonnets represent "the Protestant paradigm of salvation in its stark, dramatic, Pauline terms," I consider the role of the imagination in the spiritual transformation represented within the sequence. Donne foregrounds a Calvinistic theology that posits both humanity's total depravity and God's grace and mercy as the only avenue of transcendence. Whatever agency the speaker exhibits is generated by the exercise of his imagination, which leads him to a recognition of his sinfulness and the necessity of God's grace. In the second essay I investigate the presence of a negative theology within "Lachrimae, or Seven Tears Figured in Seven Passionate Pavans," a sonnet sequence by Geoffrey Hill. In this sequence, Hill demonstrates the possibilities that surface through an integration of negative theology with postmodern theories of language, both of which have been influenced by the philosophical writings of Martin Heidegger. The two inform and transform each other while producing a tension that is productive ground for poetry.
The main body of the manuscript includes a collection of poems built upon thematic parallels with the Biblical account of Jonah, acknowledging the character's continued frustration with God in Chapter Four of Jonah, which is commonly forgotten in popular and religious representations of the story. The four sections in the manuscript include poems that struggle to negotiate the tensions between the will of a compelling God and the will of the individual.

The story of Jonah as a model for a new, biblically based moving-image genre.Gunn-Danforth, Christine 09 January 2008 (has links)
The goal of this research is to define the intent for Christian moving-image media narratives in terms of Prophetic Imagination and to develop and describe the characteristics of a new biblically based genre for Christian moving-image media that incorporates intent, content, style, and form. The story of Jonah and the related message as ironic vision, in combination with a particular didactic narrative form (edutainment), creates a medium with a Prophetic Imagination result. This medium, which is at the same time the message, is termed Jonahre. This new genre proposes a fresh Christian purpose and possibility for using the moving-image media to tell stories. In terms of the paradigm of Prophetic Imagination, the challenge for Christian moving-image media is to establish a biblically based alternative consciousness in society that results in the invitation to live a Lifestyle of the Believer in and contrary to the lifestyle of the dominant culture. Christians find themselves in a paradigm somewhat similar to the ancient Israelites in exile, as Christianity and its message have become de-centralized by the popular culture in a dominant postmodern world with a secular worldview. The task thus of preaching, telling stories and communicating the Christian message through moving-image media is to subvert these dominant ideologies through a God-given message. This message should carry a transformative revelatory purpose to glorify God and establish a biblical Christian outlook on life and the world that goes beyond merely a Christian veneer. Producers of narratives with a Christian worldview can no longer depend on simply using secular formats to convey Christian messages, as is currently often done with moving-image media. Instead, both content and form must be biblically based and have the same intent and purpose. This demands a new format for Christian moving-image narratives that aims at laying claim to the icons that dominate the secular “empire” so that they may be conscripted for the purpose of establishing a Christian worldview among the inhabitants with an empire consciousness. For the development of this new genre, the narrative of the book of Jonah as model of biblical storytelling is examined by means of socio-rhetorical criticism and communication theory. The communication as rich tapestry of interwoven textual textures is considered to find the basis for elements of a Prophetic Imagination narrative that educates in Biblical truth while entertaining the dominant cultural audience through an ironical, didactic style. / Prof. J.H. Coetzee

Der Gott Jonas und die Völker: Narratologische und intertextuelle Studien zur Hinwendung von Nichtisraeliten zum wahren Gott in Jona 1,4-16 undRiebesehl, Klaus 01 1900 (has links)
The goal of this study is to evaluate, in which manner the Non-Israelites turn to Yahweh.
It works with a combination of narrative analysis and intertextuality.
The book of Jonah contains two symmetrical parts (1-2 and 3-4), each part containing
three scenes, each scene relating to a scene in the other part: 1.1-3 // 3.1-3a; 1.4-16 //
3.3b-10; 2.1-11 // 4.1-11.
The structure of 1.4-16, including the inner development of the mariners, shows that a
conversion of the Seamen to Yahweh is intended. In the same manner the structure of
3.3b-10 and the positive characterization of the Ninevites show that a conversion to the
one true God is intended. These results are each confirmed by an intertextual analysis of
1.14 and 16 and of the faith, the repentance and the God who relents.
Result: The book of Jonah teaches that Non-Israelites can have a relationship with
Yahweh. This is possible through an Israelite, becoming reality by conversion of the
Heathen. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M. Th. (Old Testament)

Translating Jonah’s narration and poetry into Sabaot : towards a participatory approach to Bible translation (PABT)Chemorion, Diphus Chosefu 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DTh (Old and New Testament))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / Recent developments in the field of translation studies have shown that a single
translation of the Bible cannot be used for all the functions for which people may need a
translation of the Bible. Unlike the case in the past when new versions of the Bible were
viewed with suspicion, it is now increasingly acknowledged that different types of the
Bible are necessary for different communicative functions. While many African
communities have only a pioneer mother tongue translation of the Bible, Scripture use
reports indicate that in some situations, the mother tongue translations have not been used
as it was intended. The writer of this dissertation supports the view that some of the
Christians in their respective target language communities do not use available mother
tongue translations because they find them to be inappropriate for their needs. In the light
of functionalist theories of translation, it is held in this dissertation that people who find
existing translations to be unsuitable for their needs may need special alternative
translations that are precisely designed to address their needs. The challenge, however, is
how to identify the specific type of the alternative translation. Although the need for
alternative versions of the Bible has been widely acknowledged, very few studies have
been carried out on strategies for designing and producing functional and acceptable
alternative translations that are also directly based on the biblical source texts. This study
represents part of the necessary effort to identify theoretical strategies for designing and
producing alternative translations with special functions.
