Abstract

Working within the sensing, intuition, feeling, thinking (SIFT) approach to biblical hermeneutics, the present study focuses attention on the distinctive voices of dominant extraverted intuition, and dominant introverted intuition. The voice of dominant introverted intuition is further nuanced by taking into account the differential influences of auxiliary extraverted feeling and auxiliary extraverted thinking. These voices are articulated by type-alike hermeneutical communities (involving 22 participants) working with the incident at the pool called Beth-zatha narrated in John 5: 1–16. The present study goes beyond previous work employing hermeneutical communities comprised on the basis of dominant function-orientation by including the effect of contrasting auxiliary functions.
