SOTERIOLOGICAL TRAJECTORIES, EVOLVING MEANING AND CONSTRUCTIVE THEOLOGY
Abstract
This article is an appreciative but critical appraisal of certain themes from Klaus Nürnberger’s Theology of the Biblical Witness with a focus on its significance for constructive theology. It analyses his understanding of soteriological trajectories and underlying streams of meaning and then raises critical questions with regard to his use of evolutionary theory, the nature of the streams of meaning, the problems of historical construction and the reduction of the biblical witness to soteriology.Downloads
