dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim with this study is to determine whether an essential correlation exists between the nature of salvation (indicated as the correlation between faith and grace) and the nature of the authority of Scripture in the theology of prof. G. C. Berkouwer. The claims of scientific credibility make it necessary for the theologian to explain the formal and materialistic relations between the confession of scriptural authority and scientific credibility. During the late 1960s a debate on the theological method of Berkouwer was stimulated by an article of H. Berkhof. In 1973 Jonker asked whether Berkhof was correct in his interpretation of the correlation between faith and revelation as a methodological criterion in Berkouwer 's theology. Berkouwer has tried to escape from the polarity of the subject-object schemes. His theological debate with Roman Catholic theology and Karl Barth suits his purpose to develop a theology that recognises the possibility of a "direct revelation in Scripture", and of faith as a gift from God. In His revelation of Himself God speaks to man and calls him to faith. Therefore, the authority of Scripture cannot exist as a mechanical authority or merely as a result of existing relations. Faith correlates with the revelation, that calls man to faith and submission. In the light of this conviction Berkouwer has not only developed his functional doctrine of Scripture, but also his theological method. Berkouwer looked for the Scripture 's own paradigm to use it as the only logical methodological criterion. This he found in the concept of direct revelation. As faith correlates with revelation, correlation is not the methodological criterion of Berkouwer, but an indication of the nature of the authority of Scripture. The essential correlation that exists between the nature of salvation and the nature of Scriptural authority results in a functional doctrine of Scripture. The authority of Scripture is religious and relational, and as such its boundaries determines the task of theology.en_ZA
dc.description.abstractAFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oogmerk met die studie is om te bepaal of daar 'n wesenlike verband is tussen die aard van die heil (korrelasie van geloof met die genade) en die aard van die Skrifgesag in die teologie van prof. G.C. Berkouwer. Die vereistes wat wetenskaplike geloofwaardigheid aan die teologie stel, maak dit noodsaaklik om die formele en materiële verbande tussen die belydenis en erkenning van die Skrifgesag aan die een kant en die vereistes vir wetenskaplikheid aan die ander kant uit te spel. In 1965 het 'n artikel van H. Berkhof ‘n debat oor die metodologie van Berkouwer gestimuleer. Jonker (1973) vra of Berkhof korrek is as hy die korrelasie interpreter as ‘n metodologiese kriterium. Berkouwer het prober ontkom aan die noodwendige polariteit wat met die subjek-objek skemas gepaard gaan. Sy polemiek met die Rooms-Katolieke teologie en Karl Barth het gedien om 'n teologie te ontwikkel waarin die "moontlikheid van 'n direkte openbaring" erken meet word, en voeg dan by dat dit in die Skrif geskied. Omdat God in die openbaring sprekend tot die mens kom en die mens tot geloof oproep, kan die gesag van die Skrif nie bo-natuurlik of bloot binne bestaande relasies bestaan nie. Geloof, na sy aard, korreleer met die openbaring, wat deur die Skrif tot die mens kom en die mens tot geloof en onderwerping oproep! In die lig hiervan ontwikkel Berkouwer dan nie alleen sy funksionele Skrifleer nie, maar ook sy teologiese metode. Berkouwer soek die "Skrif se denkstruktuur" om dit aan te wend as Die enigste logiese metodologiese kriterium. Hierdie denkstruktuur word vir Berkouwer verwoord deur die gedagte van 'n direkte openbaring. Aangesien geloof met hierdie openbaring korreleer, is die korrelasie-gedagte vir Berkouwer nie die metodologiese kriterium nie, maar 'n aanduiding van die aard van die Skrifgesag. Die essensiële verband tussen die aard van die heil en die aard van die Skrifgesag gee aanleiding tot 'n funksionele Skrifleer. Die gesag van die Skrif is religieus en relasioneel en as sulks bepaal die grense van die Skrif die taak van die teologie.af_ZA
