Resepsieteorie: Konkurrent of Komplement van die Teksimmanemte Eksegese?
Abstract
Reception theory: competitor or complement of text-immanent exegetical methodology? Due to the underlying principles on which it was based and which suggest a critical view of positivism and its idea of applying an exegetical �method� to a text, it seems as if the reception theory could only be regarded as an alternative to text-immanent exegesis. This paper reflects on the possibility of incorporating the insights of the reception theory into a text-immanent model so as to form a comprehensive exegetical approach.
