Theologie als verbeelding over grenzen heen
1Een uitgewerkte versie van het afscheidscollege uitgesproken bij de sluiting van de Kerkelijke Opleiding bij de Faculteit der Godgeleerdheid en Godsdienstwetenschap van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen d.d. 25 juni 2004.
Door Luco J. van den BromAbstractThe author argues for a revaluation of images and myths as the proper means for talking about God in systematic theology. As myths are not understood descriptively, they function neither as a kind of primitive ‘science’ nor as disguised philosophy. Because of God’s transcendence, thcistic talk of God as an external object is logically improper, for it implicitly adopts a God’s Eye point of view. Systematic theology that takes its internalist perspective seriously, will refrain from using descriptive talk of God’s transcendence, and employ narratives, rather than ‘theories’ to speak about the Christian form of life. By means of Christian narratives believers creatively construe and reconstrue their collective and individual narrative identity in relation to God who is transcendent in the middle of human life (Bonhoeffer). A Trinitarian modeled narrative framework as ‘mythistory’ interprets life experiences as a form of life orientation. Finally, the imago Dei is interpreted as a form of life coram Deo, rather than as an essential property of human personhood.

Exegese und Theologie Über Bedeutung und Funktion der Exegese in der Theologie
Door Gerd TheißenAbstractBiblical studies have been relevant for other disciplines as long as they were embedded within comprehensive theological programs such as the emancipation from the church dogma in liberal theology, the opening of transcendence in kerygmatic theology, the search for an authentic life in existential theology and the ecumenical dialogue in the last decades. The challenge of our time is the dialogue both with a secular approach to religion and with other religions. Biblical studies may achieve a new vitality if exegesis develops a twofold reading of the Bible both within the church and within the secular society, and represents biblical identity in the interfaith dialogue.

Reconstructie van de geschiedenis van Israël De casus van de ‘High or Low Chronology’ in de vroege koningstijd
1Lezing voor het Oudtestamentisch Werkgezelschap in Nederland en België op 30-1-2004 in Apeldoorn. In een duo-lezing ging dr. G.van der Kooij op de archeologische aspecten in. Hier staan de vragen rondom de verhouding tussen tekstuele en archeologische bronnen centraal. De stijl van de oorspronkelijke lezing is gehandhaafd.
Door Ed NoortAbstractIn this essay the author deals with the high or low chronology debate of the Iron Age IIA in Ancient Israel. Israel Finkelstein dated Stratum VA-IVB at Megiddo to the ninth century B.C.E. with far reaching consequences for the historical, cultural and political processes during the first centuries of the monarchy. Not the House of David (Solomon), but the Omrides are the builders of the monumental structures in Megiddo. The whole debate is reviewed from the methodological point of view. The relationship between archaeological data and the biblical record is discussed as well as the hermeneutical problem of historical reconstruction between ‘Biblical’ and ‘Ancient’ Israel.
