Overview

Biblical theology is concerned with the reasons why something was written as well as with the content of what was written. It not only examines the product but also investigates the procedures and presuppositions that went into writing the Scriptures.

The Word of God is seen in the manner in which it is revealed progressively. The whole is traced in the way God gave the Bible part by part. The perspective is that of the historical setting in which the truth came. The theology of the Bible emerges out of the thought of the writers as seen in their writings; it is never superimposed on those writings.

This book will help you learn the teachings of the New Testament and see that theology is part of the very fabric of the Bible. It is simply and clearly written and will be of benefit to all who want to learn more about the teachings of the Bible.

Top Highlights

“Biblical theology is the branch of theological science that deals systematically with the historically-conditioned progress of the self-revelation of God, as deposited in the Bible.” (Page 10)

“Biblical theology is not systematic theology or exegesis; nor is it merely a different arranging of the same material. Rather it is a combination that is partly historical, partly exegetical, partly critical, partly theological, and thereby totally distinctive. Biblical theology is concerned with the reason something was written as well as with the content of what was written. It not only examines the product, but also investigates the procedures and presuppositions that went into the writing of the Scriptures.” (Page 9)

“Logically and chronologically, Biblical theology should take precedence over systematic theology, for the order of study ought to be introduction, exegesis, historical background, Biblical theology, and finally systematic theology.” (Page 15)

“1. Precedence. Strictly speaking Biblical theology is foundational to systematic theology.” (Page 14)

“Therefore it seems preferable to develop Biblical theology according to the outstanding areas of the thinking of the writer involved or according to the particular distinctiveness of revelation to and through that man or during that period.” (Page 17)
