Abstract :This contribution surveys the oeuvre of Dirk van der Merwe as NT and Spirituality scholar. Apart from brief biographical remarks, the publications of Van der Merwe are characterised. Important are his emphases on the text of the NT and how it speaks to matters of faith. Method is equally significant in Van der Merwe's understanding of his role as theologian. Yet, his text-immanent exegetical approach does not fit naturally with his instinctive orientation to apply insights from the Bible to modern matters of faith. The unique way in which Van der Merwe tries to solve this inherent uneasiness, by drawing on an unlikely combination of influences from R. Bultmann and J. A. Heyns, is indicated.

Teks-metodiek-geloof: Ter karakterisering van DG van der Merwe as Nuwe Statement- en Spiritualiteitsnavorser

摘要：这篇文章调查了德克范德默威作为 NT 和灵性学者的全部作品。除了简短的传记评论外，Van der Merwe 的出版物也很有特色。重要的是他对新约文本的强调以及它如何谈到信仰问题。方法在范德默韦对他作为神学家的角色的理解中同样重要。然而，他的文本内在的解经方法与他将圣经的见解应用于现代信仰问题的本能取向并不自然地契合。Van der Merwe 试图通过利用 R. Bultmann 和 JA Heyns 的不太可能的影响组合来解决这种固有的不安的独特方式。
