Usage notes
[edit]- Though sometimes rendered by phrases like "life setting", "situation in life" etc. the German term Sitz im Leben is better translated by "sociological setting" or left untranslated. As a technical term, it refers to the social setting of a text, particularly in the Bible. It is primarily used today in academic contexts, especially theology and biblical studies.
