| Riepilogo: | As I reflect on the articles presented in this volume, the issue of human interconnectivity impressed itself through particular events: the collapse (with the loss of life of South Africans) of a building in the church grounds of the prophet T. B. Joshua in Nigeria, as well as the continuing destabilising of that country by Boko Haram; the killing of a black youth in Ferguson, USA with a concomitant rise in racial temperature; a similar rise of racial temperature in South Africa due to a tweet by a popular Afrikaans singer suggesting that black South Africans are responsible for apartheid; the release of a report on the South African observer mission to the 2002 Zimbabwean presidential election and the current reports to the run up to a new presidential election in that country. Amidst these issues, Old Testament Essays presents its readers with articles from authors from these countries (and others), some of them reflecting on the use of the biblical text in dangerous contexts. |
