New Testament methods are products of the contexts out of which they have emerged. Any attempt at devising new ways of teaching Biblical Studies should be cognisant of this. The different methods used are not naive but are in the service of the user's interests. Hence fragmentation and sectarianism. A common departure point is suggested as a prerequisite for any meaningful alternative to the teaching of Biblical Studies in South Africa.
