The Heilsgeschichtliche perspective in modern New Testament theology
In Chapter One we compare significant features of the NT theology of F. C. Baur to that of J. C. K. von Hofmann. The key questions are: What is NT theology? What epistemological position is assumed in NT theological work? What view of history informs the composition of a NT theology? Then we compare W. Wrede and A. Schlatter along the same lines. A fundamental divergence emerges regarding how NT theology is to be undertaken, with Baur-Wrede comprising the basis for a 'critical orthodox' heritage on the one hand and Hofmann-Schlatter representing a contrasting hgl. perspective on the other. In Chapter Two we examine the tension between hgl. and non-hgl. approaches in both OT and NT theology between the World Wars. There is a continuing fundamental divergence in approach in both disciplines which is reflected in the respective oft-heard terms Religionsgeschichte and Hg. While many today see O. Cullmann as the initiator of modern discussion about Hg. , we see that Hg. is a focus of attention in both OT and NT theology well before Cullmann's influence begins to be felt. This is hardly due merely to the intrusion of 19th century philosophy of history into biblical studies. In Chapter Three we continue to document
