Description
Summary:The necessity of taking into account metatheoretical aspects pertaining to a hermeneutical approach to Practical Theology This article is part of the project “Metatheoretical assumptions in Practical Theology”. Within the theological framework of the project, namely that we view reality as a realm where God is working, and that we interpret praxis from this point of de- parture, this article discusses our approach to the interpretation of praxis which we see as a hermeneutical moment. Currently there are, among others, empirical, hermeneutical, liberation- theological and narrative approaches to Practical Theology. The author has chosen to discuss the hermeneutical approach to the study of the discipline from a reformed theological perspec- tive. The philosophical-hermeneutical theories and the herme- neutical approach to Practical Theology by Browning, Dinge- mans, Heitink and Osmer are discussed. From a reformational perspective the conclusion is that we can critically link up with Osmer’s approach.
