In the light of various new tendencies in New Testament Studies, this article charts out the task for future students and researchers in the field. Within the frame of newer socio-cognitive discourse studies, it builds on the semiotic foundation that controlled interpretation of the ancient Greek text as a complex sign-system enabling the community of professional readers to construct meaning fitting the text. Such interpretations need to simulate the interpretation process within the original epistemic community. The article aims to reassess the role of exegesis in Testament Studies and a redesign of its sub-disciplines. Contribution The article makes an original contribution to realign the hermeneutical task to interpret the text in the New Testament with socio-cognitive discourse studies. It follows trends in reception studies in distinguishing semantic interpretation from the various uses of such consensual text and conforms to interpretation of the New Testament in the realm of faculties of theology and within academic and public discourse.

Aim To obtain an understanding of operating theatre nurses' experiences of responsibility for patient care and safety in perioperative practice. Design A hermeneutic design were used. Method Data were collected during 2012 from 15 operating theatre nurses who participated in individual interviews. The text was analyzed by hermeneutical text interpretation. Findings The texts revealed two main themes: A formal external responsibility and personal ethical value. Responsibility that the patient was not exposed to risks, protecting the patient's body, systematically planning and organizing work in the surgical team. The personal ethical value meant confirming the patient as a person, caring for the patient and preserving the patient's dignity. A new understanding emerged that the operating theatre nurse always have the patient in mind.

Introduction. The article deals with the problem of emergence of analytical conclusions in Russian historical science at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on the historiographical analysis of the text of “Concise Russian Church History” of Metropolitan Platon (Levshin) the author makes an attempt to demonstrate that scientific analytics is formed in the historical discourse through authors sentence, the deductive excursus created by the author in the process of making a text and providing the discovery of the pragmatic sense of the narrative. On the basis of the purpose of sentence in general text linguistics, the author makes an assumption that such a sentential generalization finds its way into the historical work of Metropolitan Platon through the orthodox homiletics, making the structure of authors narrative similar in a sense and purpose to a sermon. Methods. The research is based on the hermeneutic research method supplemented by the comparative historical and linguistic methods of text research. Applying the historiographical methods results in analyzing the sense and purpose of sentences in the text of historical composition of Metropolitan Platon. Analysis. The article describes a number of coincidences of some sentential generalizations suggested by Metropolitan Platon with sentences included in Karamzins “History of Russian State”. In particular, the researcher remarks the meaning coincidences of authors sentences in evaluating Russian paganism as well as in characterizing Russian society shortly before and after the Mongol-Tatar invasion. He emphasizes some differences in using authors sentences in these texts, analyses the reasons of these differences, finds out a place of sentences in every composition. Results. Finally, the researcher makes a conclusion that in spite of any differences in using sentential generalizations, in these compositions of Platon and Karamzin they form a summarizing part of their historical discourse as an inherent side of their writing styles in presenting historical material. Such a sentence becomes the first step in the formation of scientific analytics, allowing historians of the early 19th century to rise above information of the source, divide information flows, instill scientific discoursivity to the narrative, give conceptual importance to authors conclusions.

Este trabalho aborda a narração de Deus como fonte de sentido para vida no contexto das tradições religiosas que se fundam na leitura e apropriação de textos tidos como sagrados. A partir da hipótese de que a fé monoteísta é fundamentalmente uma “fé textual”, o presente trabalho toma por referencial teórico o pensamento do filósofo francês Paul Ricoeur. O objetivo a que me proponho é apresentar de forma sintética traços de sua hermenêutica bíblica a partir da articulação entre interpretação, tradição e tradução. O percurso deste ensaio conduz inicialmente à teoria do texto de Ricoeur, em seguida aborda sua fenomenologia hermenêutica da consciência religiosa da falta, para enfim buscar a articulação entre tradição e tradução em uma leitura filosófica da bíblia. A articulação entre as hermenêuticas bíblica e filosófica aponta para a possibilidade do desenvolvimento de uma filosofia da religião que tem por propósito pensar mais e de maneira diferente a contribuição da leitura dos textos religiosos para a busca de sentido da existência humana. Para tanto, se faz necessário o respeito pela pluralidade de crenças e práticas no interior e fora das diversas tradições religiosas. Palavras-chave: Hermenêutica. Texto. Tradição. Tradução.  Abstract This paper approaches the narration of God as a source of meaning to life in the context of religious traditions that are based on reading and appropriation of texts considered sacred. From the hypothesis that the monotheistic faith is fundamentally a \"textual faith\", this paper takes as a theoretical framework the thought of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur. I intend to present in a synthetic trace his biblical hermeneutics from the relationship between interpretation, translation and tradition. This paper initially gets to the theory of Ricoeur’s texts, and then approaches his hermeneutic phenomenology of the religious consciousness of fault; finally it searches for the relationship between tradition and translation in a philosophical reading of the Bible. The articulation between the biblical and philosophical hermeneutics points to the possibility of developing a philosophy of religion that wants to think in a different way the contribution of reading religious texts in the search for meaning of human existence. Therefore, it is necessary to respect the diversity of beliefs and practices inside and outside of the various religious traditions. Keywords: Hermeneutics. Text. Tradition. Translation. 

How is God present and active in this time and place? This question has been a pressing one for preachers and congregations amid the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts. In the USA, the urgency of this theological question intensified when nationwide protests erupted following the release, on 26 May, of the video of the death of George Floyd. Floyd, an unarmed Black man, died pleading for breath, his neck pinned to the pavement by a police officer's knee. Sermons preached in the USA in congregations of distinctive predominant racial identity on the two Sundays following Floyd's death (31 May and 7 June 2020) are assessed hermeneutically, asking: \"In what ways did US sermons, preached on 31 May and 7 June 2020, interpret divine presence and activity in relation to the preacher's interpretation of listeners' needs and responsibilities; biblical text(s) referenced, and/or the dual public crisis impinging on national life?\"

The research is a theory based clinical application research with a participant orientation. The aim of the study is to describe meaning of the concepts 'care for' and 'not care for' from the carer's perspective. The critical incident method was chosen as data collection. The interpretation of data was made using hermeneutic text interpretation in four readings. To 'care for' means seeing the patient as a fellow human being which is understood as; to see the patient, to allow the immediately given and to think about the patient. To 'not care for' means seeing the patient as an object which is understood as not listening to the patient and closing the eyes to the patient's wishes. To 'care for' as an aspect of caring is understood as an inner ethical attitude that includes responsibility and respect for the human being, an inner ethical attitude in the meaning of seeing your fellow being with love and mercy. Seeing the patient as an object means that caring has been reduced to actions and work tasks without a deeper meaning.

The paper explores the role of competing notions of what does it mean to have a testament of the law of the past in Christian and Rabbinic corpora of text and thought. The argument probes and renegotiates the complex relationships of the Christian suspension of Old Testament by the New Testament and the Rabbinic suspension of (any) new testament in the two . It consequently draws implications of that analysis for understanding the relationships of the two to the tradition of hermeneutics of texts, as influenced as the latter has been by theological and literary approaches of various Christian theologies of the two Testaments. As a part of that analysis the articles justifies the task of advancing and providing a critique of political theology and political philology as modes of thought and investigation. That provides a way to ask anew the question about relationships between theology, literary theory, and political thought.

من المصطلحات التي أنتجتها الفلسفة الحديثة مصطلح \"التاريخية\"، الذي كانت بداية ظهوره في نهاية القرن التاسع عشر، وأخذ بعد ذلك ينتشر، وتجلّت الحاجة إليه بفعل التطور الذي عرفته العلوم الإنسانية، واستفحال نـزعة الحداثة ثم ما بعد الحداثة. وقد قامت الدراسة بتوضيح مفهوم التاريخية: لغة واصطلاحاً ودلالة، ومحاولة التفريق بينه وبين مفهوم حداثي آخر هو التاريخانية، ورأت أن ثمة توظيفات حداثية للمفهوم في الخطاب الحداثي العربي. ومن أهمها نقد القراءة السائدة، والنظر إلى التاريخية بوصفها مقولة متقدمة، ودورها في مجال دراسة النصوص، واتخذت الدراسة من محمد أركون ونصر حامد أبو زيد نموذجين لتمثيل هذا المفهوم. Modern philosophy has produced certain terms, one of these terms is \"historicism\" which has emerged by the end of the 19th century, and spread widely through the development of human sciences and the spread of modernity and post modernity. This paper explained the concept and compared it with another one, namely \"historicity.\" The paper found out that historicism has modern applications in modern Arab discourse such as the criticism of prevalent reading, and the study of text. The focus of the study is the writings of Muhammad Arcon and Nasr Hamid Abuzaid.

In this article, the method \"Theme-Centered Interview\" which draws on the theme-centered group discussion conceived by LEITHAEUSER and VOLMERG is introduced.
