Scripture's Doctrine and Theology's Bible

Recent years have seen a growing interest (not to mention a growing body of literature) in the intersection of biblical studies and theology--the field becoming known as "theological interpretation." Scripture's Doctrine and Theology's Bible brings together essays from a group of world-class scholars in order to continue and contribute to the ongoing conversation. The book stems from an illuminating symposium held at the University of St. Andrews in spring 2007 that brought together biblical and systematic theologians to answer this fundamental question: To what extent, and on what grounds, does the New Testament shape and prescribe Christian theology???As the contributors wrestle with this question, they creatively engage with various doctrines, interpreters, and practices. Specifically, part one deals with how the Bible informs particular aspects of Christian doctrine and praxis. The essays in part two examine how the New Testament has shaped influential theologians of the past century. Part three moves from analysis to synthesis, drawing up a vision for the New Testament's normative role in forming theology and ethics. Here is engaging dialogue for scholars in both biblical studies and theology, as well as their students.??Contributors:??Markus Bockmuehl (University of Oxford)

Publisher Description

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the intersection of biblical studies and theology. Scripture's Doctrine and Theology's Bible is a collection of essays by world-class biblical and systematic theologians. At the core of the book and of each essay is this fundamental question: To what extent, and on what grounds, does the New Testament shape and prescribe Christian theology? As the contributors explore this question, they creatively engage with various doctrines, interpreters, and practices. This illuminating book will appeal to pastors and students interested in the integration of biblical studies and theology for the benefit of the church.
