    The autor in Luke-Acts
    (Stellenbosch University, Faculty of Theology, 1990) Du Plooy, Gerhardus Petrus Viljoen
    The author is a much-debated subject in literary criticism. Halfway through the twentieth century literary critics predominately approved of the absent author. It is argued here that the authorial meaning cannot be separated from a text. The key in terms of a narrative text is that, in the experience of reading, the reader is confronted with an authorial consciousness, which influences the process of reading. The present paper contends that a differentiation of the implied author enables the reader to assess in a more detailed way the ideology of the text. As test case the prologue, ‘we’-sections and speeches of Luke-Acts are considered. The implied author is traced as formal textual structure, and as creator of the value-structure in the total narrative world.

    The design of God in Luke-Acts
    (Stellenbosch University, Faculty of Theology, 1988) Du Plooy, Gerhardus Petrus Viljoen
    The theme of God’s design in Luke-Acts developed on a variety of levels in the narrative. Its analysis requires a multi-faceted approach which leaves enough scope for a number of motifs to be recognised as aspects of the same central theme. The article discusses how various techniques are employed by the author of Luke-Acts to develop this theme and gives special attention to key phrases in the Greek text.
