Assignment (M. Div.)--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This assignment deals with the question of whether and how it is possible to preach about
texts on the last judgment in the New Testament under the premise of a merciful God. This
question will be approached from a hermeneutical angle. Therefore the researcher will, after
some introductory comments, deal with two different texts about the last judgment (Luk
16:19-31 and Rev 20:11-15) and investigate them exegetically. This will form a large part of
the assignment. After the exegesis, a homiletical as well as a systematical reflection will be
done on these specific biblical texts. Each of these chapters will conclude with a draft of a
sermon on the texts, showing what a possible sermon on these texts may look like. In the last
chapter, the researcher will summarize the approaches she used on her way from the biblical
texts to the sermons. A general outline of different approaches depicting how a sermon on the
last judgment in the New Testament can be done is followed.
The researcher will come to the conclusion that it is possible to preach about the last
judgment in the New Testament under the premise of a merciful God. She shows this in
dealing with the biblical texts in exegetical and contextual, rhetorical and historical,
theological and homiletical ways. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk handel oor die vraag of en inderdaad hoe dit moontlik is om te preek oor
tekste wat handel oor die laaste oordeel in die Nuwe Testament vanuit die veronderstelling
van ‘n genadige God. Hierdie vraag sal benader word vanuit ‘n hermeneutiese hoek. In
hierdie verband sal die navorser, na ‘n paar inleidende opmerkings, handel met twee
verskillende tekste oor die laaste oordeel nl. Luk 16:19-31 and Openbaring 20:11-15. Hierdie
tekste sal eksegeties ondersoek word en dit sal ‘n groot deel uitmaak van hierdie werkstuk. Na
die eksegese sal ‘n homiletiese sowel as ‘n sistematiese refleksie gedoen word oor hierdie
spesifieke Bybeltekste. Elk van hierdie hoofstukke sal afgesluit word met ‘n preekontwerp
van die teks wat sal dien as voorstel hoe ‘n moontlike preek oor die betrokke teks sal kan lyk.
Binne die laaste hoofstuk sal die navorser ‘n opsomming maak van al die benaderings deur
haar gebruik op haar weg vanaf die Bybelse tekste na die preke. ‘n Algemene raamwerk van
die verskillende benaderings wat voorstel hoe ‘n preek oor die laaste oordeel in die Nuwe
Testament gedoen kan word sal hierop volg. Die navorser sal dan tot die gevolgtrekking kom dat dit wel moontlik is om oor die laaste
oordeel in die Nuwe Testament te preek vanuit die veronderstelling van ‘n genadige God. Dit
dui sy aan deur op ‘n eksegetiese en kontekstuele, ‘n retoriese en historiese, en op ‘n
teologiese en homiletiese wyse te handel met die Bybeltekste.
