Preface

The year 1980 saw the publication of the first volume of the South African Theological Bibliography, edited by C.F.A. Borchardt and W.S. Vorster and to be known in future as SA TB 1. SA TB 2, the present volume, forms the second instalment of this ongoing bibliography. In consulting this second volume, users acquainted with SA TB 1 will be quick to sense that the compilers have benefited greatly from the comments put forward by reviewers. Indeed, all such criticisms were given due consideration and, wherever necessary and possible, we have made adjustments to enhance the usefulness of the bibliography. It should be clearly stated that the bibliography does not claim to be a complete inventory of theological publications in South Africa. To some slight extent therefore the title might be said to be misleading and perhaps even pretentious. However, that may ·be, the aim is to expand the SA TB constantly and, where possible, to incorporate older theological journals not reflected in existing volumes and to add current and new journals on an ongoing basis. Also included are locally presented dissertations and theses having significance for theology. Since the appearance of SATB 1, a number of new journals have been launched, the particulars of which are reflected in the present volume. In addition it has been decided to include theological publications such as inaugural lectures and series produced by local universities. Thanks to the kind co-operation of several of these universities it has been possible for a substantial body of particulars from such sources to be covered in the present volume. In time to come we hope to receive the co-operation of all South African universities. The present volume, in spite of criticisms, follows the same division of particulars as did SA TB 1. On the whole, the heads adopted there have proved their practical worth; the exception is Science of missions, used in SA TB 1 but replaced here by Missiology. Then, too, errors crept into SA TB 1 as doubtless into all publications, for example in the list of abbreviations on pages viii-ix. The following entries are correct here:

N t   Neotestamentica 1966-1976

OTSSA 1958-1974

Malan, SI         Gesamentlike katalogus van proefskrifte Supplements 1959-1976

 

Publication of SA TB 2 has met with substantial delays. These go back to the time when, with manuscript all ready for printing, it was decided that the second volume, unlike the first, was to have a subject index. Painstaking investigation had even before then equipped the Institute with the know-how to compile a subject index that would be of optimum benefit to the user; the missing ingredients had been staff and funds. Now, thanks to further grants from UNISA and the HSRC, a subject index could be developed for SA TB 2. Mr C.J. van Zyl has succeeded in compiling a fairly comprehensive index that will make SA TB 2 far easier to use. Entries in this register are arranged alphabetically, each sub-entry requiring to be read in conjunction with its main entry. For example, 'afrikaans - and the modern world' under the entry 'culture' on page 213 is to be read as 'afrikaans culture and the modern world'. Note that the main entry, 'culture' in this example, is replaced in the sub-entry by a hyphen. There cannot be the slightest doubt that this contribution by Mr Van Zyl will facilitate information retrieval considerably. In order that costs might remain as low as possible, the subject index has been compiled in English only. The enormous task of going through the various journals to assemble the required data was seen to by Messrs W.I.G. Muller, C.J. Froneman and C.J. van Zyl. We should like to express our thanks to these gentlemen, and also to Mrs J. Kilian and Miss S. Williams, who were ever ready to advise and assist. A word of special thanks goes to Mrs S. Winckler, whose typing has been done with invariable neatness and accuracy. Finally, we should like to thank UNISA for providing the facilities and funds without which this project of the Institute for Theological Research could not be the reality that it is today.
