| Summary: | I still vividly recall the discussions concerning the changing of the name OTWSA/OTSSA to Old Testament Essays (OTE) in the mid eighties of the previous century. The Old Testament Society of South Africa (OTSSA) was founded in December 1957 at Stellenbosch and its journal was initially called OTWSA/OTSSA but at a certain stage it was felt that a name change was necessary. It was mainly a UNISA initiative because the Department of Old Testament at UNISA founded a journal, Old Testament Essays, in 1983 and the name was considered more appropriate than OTWSA/OTSSA. Although the UNISA Old Testament Essays was successful its scope was too limited and after long discussions it nevertheless became the official name of the OTSSA's journal in 1987. |
