O ne of the most gratifying things about working on this book series has been the extraordinary generosity of colleagues around the world who have shared their expertise with me. From early on I was given valuable advice about what to cover in the book and on drafts of individual chapters; also, many of these scholars agreed to be interviewed for the podcast version. I would here like to record my gratitude to the academic experts who appeared as guests on the series:

The key characteristic of a model... is that it is, before all else, a speculative instrument. It may take the form of a descriptive outline, or it may be an inductive-even a deductive-generalization. But whatever it is, it is first and foremost a framework of reference, consciously used as such, to enable us to cope with complex data ... Each model presents an alternative view of reality. Indeed, the whole purpose of employing a model may be to check whether the novel view of reality which it provides adds to our understanding of that reality. (Carney 1975:9) 4.1 Orientation While due note has been taken of the utilization of social-scientific concepts and models by New Testament scholars (cf chapter 2 above), the point of departure of the present study is taken from, and the design of an appropriate model is based on, primary sources from the field of the social sciences. The social sciences developed the concept of the model as their characteristic instrument for procuring and processing research data. Elliott (1986:3), however, warns that the undifferentiated use of words such as 'metaphor', 'example', 'analogy', 'illustration', 'symbol', or even 'paradigm', as synonyms for 'model', results in terminological confusion. This has the effect of compromising the social-scientific study of the New Testament. It is therefore important not only to heed Elliott's warning, but also to support his effort at the clarification of the concept of 'model'. While this study professes itself to be a social-scientific one, an explication of what the concept 'model' entails is indispensable. In the next section we shall apply our attention to that end. Chapter 4 will be devoted to a discussion of the research process as explicated by Riley (1963) and Miller (1964), to the construction of a model 152 HTS Supplementum 4 (1991)
