Description
Summary:The Old Testament Society of South Africa (OTSSA) was initiated by Professor A. H. van Zyl, the first general secretary in December 1957, which means we will celebrate by the end of this year 55 years of its existence. I hope it is not preposterous to compare our society with the happy and wise old man of Ps 1: "He is like a tree planted beside a watercourse, which yields its fruit in season and its leaf never whithers: in all that he does he prospers" (Ps 1:3). The papers delivered at the congresses held between 1957 and 1986 were published in separate congress volumes, sometimes combining the papers of two consecutive congresses. These volumes were edited by Andries H. van Zyl and Wouter C. van Wyk, except for the one of 1981 that was edited by Ferdinand E. Deist and James-Alfred Loader and the one of 1986 by Jasper J. Burden.
