Abstract

Biblical theology - dogmatic theology The purpose of this article is to make a contribution to the discussion between systematic theology and biblical theology from the point of view of what systematic theology can expect of the latter. In this discussion the ideas of JP Gabler, as portrayed by H Boers, can play an important role. The following notions are identified: Dogmatic tendencies should not play a part in the presentation of a biblical theology. Biblical theology should accept a responsibility only to the biblical material which is employed; form a bridge between the exegesis and the exegetical results on the one hand and the systematic theology on the other hand; keep its purpose aligned to dogmatic theology and help to construct methods as how to incorporate the diversities and unity in the biblical witness.

Summary

Introduction

Biblical theology - dogmatic theology The purpose of this article is to make a contribution to the discussion between systematic theology and biblical theology from the point of view of what systematic theology can expect of the latter. Dit is voorwaar 'n wye verskeidenheid van opvattings wat 'n sistematiese teoloog teëkom wanneer hy hom na die Bybelse teologie wend vir 'n gesprek - en dan het ons nog nie eens die probleem aangeraak of daar dalk sprake is van meer as een teologie in die Ou en Nuwe Testament en of sodanige teologieë in 'n geheel saamgesnoer kan word en nog talle ander vrae nie.
