| Zusammenfassung: | This paper is a report, and a reflection, on a research project undertaken in the School of Religion and Theology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg.1 For the project, I collected responses to readings of Mark 4:35-41 from first-year students. The readings I chose for their response were commentaries by scholars working within the tradition of the historical critical methods of Biblical Studies. This paper will begin with a discussion of my methodology in the investigation, especially the privileged position given to the voices of the students or ordinary readers in the presentation of the data. This will be followed by examples from my data which illustrate some of the students' reception of the historical critical readings of the Bible, which are the basic assumptions that underpin critical academic biblical hermeneutics. In particular this paper will highlight the ways in which they find that academic biblical hermeneutics is an alien discourse which questions the discourses or socialisation which the students bring with them from their families and churches. This paper will then reflect on the students' readings and their questions to some of the assumptions of biblical hermeneutics and the privileging of the voice of scholarship within the discourse of biblical interpretation. |
