ON THE THEOLOGICAL EXTRAPOLATION OF BIBLICAL TRAJECTORIES

Abstract

This review essay of Klaus Nürnberger’s book, Theology of the Biblical witness, praises Nürnberger’s attempt to address the relationship between Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology, outlines a number of attractive hermeneutical positions in terms of his notion of the contemporary extrapolation of biblical trajectories, but argues that Nürnberger fails to do justice to the theological complexity of the biblical witnesses.
