Bøger af Ferdinand Deist

Sandveldstories is 'n keur uit Ferdinand Deist se gewilde kontreistories uit Pofadder en Peddelford, Die pomporrel-konsert en Bom Appeltiet op Eselspoort wat onlangs op RSG voorgelees is. Die stories, geskryf in tipiese streekstaal, handel oor 'n unieke wereld en sy mense, sommige groots soos hul omgewing, of klein en dwaas soos mense ook maar is.

Scholarly discussions of biblical interpretation often ignore the fact that language and literature form an integral part of a people''s culture, that interpretation therefore implies the total cultural system of the relevant literature, and that biblical interpretation consequently implies inter-cultural communication. This book explores the theoretical and practical implications of this observation from a cultural anthropological perspective, looks at recent anthropological studies of ancient Israelite society, supplies practical examples of a cultural interpretation of ancient Hebrew narratives, and discusses the impact of the notions ''cultural relativity'' and ''inter-cultural communication'' for biblical interpretation.
