The rich and the poor on the spectrum in 1 Timothy 6
This article applies a novel rhetorical approach, ‘text-generated persuasion interpretation’ (TGPI), to 1 Timothy 6:17–19, exploring its relevance to South Africa, particularly the national poverty line (NPL). Rooted in South Africa’s socio-economic realities, the interpretation reflects the fluid nature of wealth and poverty, requiring regular updates to the NPL by Statistics South Africa (STATS SA) because of the evolving cost of living. This f…
Mofokeng’s contribution to black Christology and theological education in South Africa
This article examines Takatso Mofokeng’s influential contributions to South African theological scholarship. It underscores the importance of his praxis-oriented approach to Christology and his dedication to socio-political justice, which enhance the relevance of contemporary theological movements addressing current challenges. This gap can be attributed to factors such as the absence of an official biography or Festschrift in his honour. Through…
Aurality in preaching
This article examines the hermeneutical and exegetical art of preaching the gospel, focusing on 1 Corinthians 2:1–5 to explore Paul’s rhetorical intent as transmitted aurally. Paul underscores that God chose societal outsiders, rather than nobles, to proclaim his message, thereby challenging Roman-Corinthian expectations. While considerable scholarship exists on Paul’s theology of preaching, there remains a gap in the exploration of aurality with…
Desire spiritual gifts that edify
Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthian church details the various problems it faced, with the primary issue in 1 Corinthians 14 being the use of spiritual gifts. Churches today are not free from similar issues, making Paul’s letter particularly relevant, especially regarding spiritual gifts. This article interprets 1 Corinthians 14:1–40, focusing on Paul’s persuasion of the Corinthians towards proper use of spiritual gifts. The interpretation emp…
The fruits of a text-generated persuasion-interpretation of 1 Corinthians 12
This article interprets the persuasion of Paul’s communication to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 12:31b–13:3 from a text-generated persuasion-interpretation (TGPI) rhetorical perspective. Text-generated persuasion-interpretation is not based on ancient Greco-Roman rhetoric and differs from ancient rhetorical analyses. Ancient Greco-Roman rhetorical analyses reimpose rhetorical categories on the text, analysing it within the confines of those rh…
Spiritually gifted and divided? A text-centred interpretation of 1 Corinthians 12
This article interpreted the persuasion of the Corinthians who claimed to be spiritually gifted yet divided. This article showed how Paul persuaded them not to be divided in 1 Corinthians 12:1–31a from a text-centred rhetorical perspective, which is called a ‘text-generated persuasion-interpretation’ (TGPI). Text-generated persuasion-interpretation is not based on ancient Greco-Roman rhetoric; it differs from rhetorical analyses that impose rheto…
