Papers by Lodewyk Sutton
Testament text) as the creator are Psalm 148 and
Colossians 1:15-20. In both texts, an interesting chiastic
pattern is noticeable concerning A-heaven-B-earth-Bearth-
A-heaven. The imagery concerning heaven and earth
can be spatially interpreted, as in both these texts, the
creation and its inhabitants are understood in relation to,
and their position towards God. This article analyses Psalm
148, and then makes a spatial comparison between the
Old Testament text of Psalm 148 and the New Testament
text of Colossians 1:15-20. The article indicates the
importance of the chiastic structure in both of these texts,
as it indicates not only a cosmic whole, but also contributes
to the interpretive relation of God (and Christ) as creator to
the creation and his people.

function and place of the new king and how does it translate in a postmodern South African context. In this chapter the question is answered by looking at the meaning and use of "right hand" in Psalm 110:1 and its social use in other Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean contexts. The purpose is to establish a biblical perspective on the use of right hand in Psalm 110:1 for a postmodern South African context.
