NTD302 New Testament Theology 4
New Testament theology is a recent development of the last two centuries. Prior to that time theology was interested in dogmatics, the doctrinal formulations of the church, and systematics, which many times was philosophical speculation. In an address in 1787 J. P. Gabler leveled an attack against the methodology of dogmatic theology, criticizing its philosophical approach. A rationalistic approach to understanding the New Testament followed. The Bible was to be viewed as a human book in understanding how it was written and what the individual writers emphasized.
