Titre : Afro-Surinamese renaissance and the rise of pentecostalism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Harold Jap-A-Joe, Auteur Année de publication : 2005 Description matérielle : pp. 134-148 Langues : anglais (eng) Résumé : During the 1960s, after a long period of suppression, a renaissance of Afro-Surinamese culture started. Around the same time Pentecostalism was introduced with great success. In this article it is being argued that the worldviews of the Afro-Surinamese Winti religion and of Pentecostalism are interlocking, explaining the attractiveness of the latter to Afro-Surinamese who since their acceptance of Christianity had been confronted with suppression and ridiculization of their worldview as 'superstition' in the mainstream missionary churches Descripteurs : Sujet(s)

Titre : Reading the Bible in context : an Indonesian and a Mexican commentary on Ecclesiastes : contextual interpretation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barend F Drewes, Auteur Année de publication : 2005 Description matérielle : pp. 120-133 Langues : anglais (eng) Résumé : This article discusses first of all a theological commentary on Ecclesiastes, written by the Indonesian biblical scholar E. G. Singgih. The main question thereby is : what is the role of the context in this commentary ? Besides the international exegetical discourse, the relationship of power and the situation of the local churches appear to be of influence in his exegesis. God is presented as 'the boss', who rules in an incomprehensible way. All people live under the shadow of death (cf. the title of the commentary). This interpretation is then compared with a commentary of the liberation theologian, Elsa Tamez. She places Ecclesiastes - and herself - in the context of the market and its oppressive capitalism, hoping that finally God shall replace this time of 'vanity' by better times. This article show that 'context' is not an objective factor, but that, consciously or unconsciously, authors choose a certain context - and this influences their reading of texts Descripteurs : Personnalité(s)
