Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Scripture and Theology

Abstract

How can theology be derived from Scripture? This chapter assumes that such a theology “derived from Scripture” is desirable, but difficult to achieve. Building on Kevin J. Vanhoozer’s work, the chapter outlines an account of developing doctrine as a way of deriving theology from Scripture. It locates the task of developing doctrine in Vanhoozer’s overall ‘agenda’ and reflects on Vanhoozer’s conception of the nature of doctrine, in order to then argue for three components of doctrinal development: the turn to Scripture, the formulation of doctrine, and the renewal of doctrine. The paper presupposes that outlining one’s own approach for doing theology not only necessitates reflection on that particular account, but also allows for dialogue between this and other accounts practitioners of theology may maintain.
