Romans, XIII, 1-7 -- Criticism, interpretation, etc. Interpretation (Philosophy) Ethics Reader-response criticism Literature and morals Thesis (DTh)--Stellenbosch University, 1991. ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is an attempt to develop and illustrate an ethos of responsible interpretation for Romans 13: 1-7 within the broader context of an 'ethics of historical reading' and an 'ethics of public responsibility' in New Testament scholarship. It is argued that an ethos of responsible interpretation of the New Testament 'compels' the interpreter to take reading seriously. This implies that the implications of the liguisticality, literariness and rhetoricity of the text, as well as the social phenomena of the world created by the text, 'must' be honoured and studied with all possible methodological sophistication and rigour. This has to be done since it forms the means through which the 'otherness' of the text is manifested. Such a study has to precede any inferences about the possible relation between the literature of the New Testament and text-extrinsic matters such as God, society, history or the self. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is 'n poging om 'n etos van verantwoordelike interpretasie van die Nuwe Testament te ontwikkel en te illustreer binne die breëre konteks van 'n "etiek van historiese lees" en 'n "etiek van openbare verandwoordelikheid" in die Nuwe-Testamentiese wetenskap. Daar word geredeneer dat 'n etiek van verantwoordelike interpretasie van die Nuwe Testament die interpreteerder "verplig" om die lees van die teks ernstig op te neem. Dit impleseer dat die teks as linguale, literêre en retoriese verskynsel asook die sosiale verskynsels van die wêreld wat deur die teks geskep word, gerespekteer moet word en met alle moontlike metodologiese noukeurigheid en sofistikasie bestudeer moet word. Dit moet gedoen word omdat die "andersheid" van die teks ondermeer via hierdie verskynsels uitdrukking vind. Sodanige studie moet enige aansprake oor die moontlike verhouding tussen die literatuur van die Nuwe Testament en buite-tekstuele sake soos God, samelewing, geskiedenis en die mens voorafgaan.
