Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Critical New Testament study has drawn on analytical techniques and interrogatory methods from a
wide range of disciplines. In recent decades the dominance of historical and ecclesiologicallylocated
approaches have been challenged by insights from literary, sociological, anthropological,
cultural and ideological scholarship. These challenges have proved fruitful and opened biblical
scholarship to new and generative interpretation. This plurality of interpretation has in turn
challenged the reductionism of biblical scholarship, leading to the now common acknowledgement
that a particular reading or reconstruction is but one of many. Unfortunately many new readings
have been too tightly bound to a single method or insight. The broad interaction between these
readings has been often overlooked. In contrast to this trend an epistemology of text emerging from
the poststructural notion of intertextuality allows the construction of links between a range of
interpretive methods. Intertextuality emerges from literary and cultural theory but spills over to
make hermeneutical connections with historical, cultural and ideological theory. For the most part
New Testament scholars who have appropriated the term have noted this but not thoroughly
explored it. In this study an ideologically-declared overtly intertextual approach to the third
canonical gospel demonstrates the interlinking hermeneutic allowed by intertextuality. John Howard
Yoder's reading of the gospel of Luke underscores the development of a Christian social-ethic. This
reading in turn forms the framework for the more overtly intertextual reading offered here. An
intertextual reading of the New Testament Scriptures is both narratively generative and politically
directive for many Christian communities. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kritiese Nuwe Testamentiese studies het in die verlede gebruik gemaak van analitiese tegnieke en
ondervraende metodes uit ‘n wye verskeidenheid van dissiplines. Meer onlangs is die oorheersing
van historiese en kerklik-gerigte benaderings uitgedaag deur insigte vanuit letterkundige,
sosiologiese, antropologiese, kulturele en ideologiese dissiplines. Hierdie uitdagings het vrugbaar
geblyk en het Bybelse vakkennis toeganklik gemaak vir nuwe en produktiewe interpretasies.
Hierdie meervoudige interpretasies het op hul beurt weer die reduksionisme in Bybelse geleerdheid
uitgedaag, wat aanleiding gegee het tot die nou algemene erkenning dat ‘n bepaalde vertolking of
rekonstruksie slegs een van vele is. Die breë wisselwerking tussen sulke vertolkings word dikwels
misgekyk. In teenstelling met hierdie neiging, laat ‘n epistemologie van die teks wat te voorskyn
kom uit ‘n poststrukturele begrip van intertekstualiteit toe dat verbande gekonstrueer word word
tussen ‘n verskeidenheid van vertolkingsmetodes. Intertekstualiteit spruit voort uit literêre en
kulturele teorie, maar vorm ook hermeneutiese skakels met historiese, kulturele en ideologie kritiek.
Die meeste Nuwe Testamentici wat gebruik gemaak het van hierdie term, het kennis geneem van
sulke verbande, maar dit nie altyd volledig verreken nie. In hierdie studie demonstreer ‘n
ideologies-verklaarde, openlik intertekstuele benadering tot die derde kanonieke evangelie die
gekoppelde hermeneutiek wat toegelaat word deur intertekstualiteit. John Howard Yoder se
vertolking van die Evangelie van Lukas plaas klem op die ontwikkeling van ‘n Christelike sosiale
etiek. Hierdie interpretasie vorm op sy beurt weer die raamwerk vir die meer openlik intertekstuele
vertolking wat hier aangebied word. ‘n Intertekstuele interpretasie van die Nuwe Testamentiese
geskrifte is beide verhalend produktief asook polities rigtinggewend vir talle Christelike
gemeenskappe.
