Exploring a paradigm for New Testament theology in an Asian contextDeininger, Friedrich Wilhelm 30 June 2002 (has links)
The thesis proposes that developing NT theology for the Asian context is important
because of the cultural and multi-religious background of the people. The text of the
Bible must be the source of theology and must be applied systematically to the Asian
context.
John the Baptist has been instrumental in preparing the way for Jesus Christ. His
theological significance needs to be considered at the beginning of NT theology and
also in his contribution to the Asian context. Jesus Christ is the center and unity of NT
theology. Consideration has been given to the person of Jesus Christ, his mission, his
ministry, and the community of his followers. Jesus Christ has been unique in many
ways especially when compared to the life and teaching of Buddha.

The idea of truth as the revelation of covenant faithfulness in the Gospel of JohnRoberts, Michael David 30 November 2003 (has links)
This study is concerned with the need to investigate the Johannine idea of truth in the context of the Old Testament background, with the stated aim of showing how this conception of truth could still reach those outside the boundary of Judaism. This thesis needs to be set within the larger framework of revelation. The revelation of God in the Old Testament pointed to God's final and fullest revelation given in his Son. And because Jesus is indeed the truth, as he himself explicitly claimed, it necessarily follows that every portion of this revelation is true and reliable in every way. Moreover, because this revelation has been given, there is the need for those to serve as witnesses to it. These witnesses, both divine and human, are themselves revelation by virtue of their divine origin and their consequent inclusion as part of the overall New Testament witness to Jesus.
Chapter one addresses those introductory matters relevant for understanding John's unique view of truth. There are two aspects to this view of truth as centered in Jesus: Jesus as the revelation of truth, and Jesus as the revealer of truth. Truth is the person and work of Jesus, and chapter two treats the first aspect in discussing eight ideas that explain this view of truth. The second aspect is the focus of chapter three. Because truth comes only from God, it must be revealed since human beings cannot understand it on their own. In order for this revelation to be received, witnesses are needed to testify to it. Hence, in John truth and revelation cannot be separated, and witnesses must testify to this revelation as the truth of God. Because Jesus is both the revealer and the revelation itself, he is therefore the preeminent witness precisely because his is a self-authenticating witness that receives the Father's affirmation. The last chapter applies this theological foundation using three ideas that are specifically connected with the word "truth": abiding, sanctification, and worship. Truth is more than intellectual acquirement; it is living one's life in love and service of God and others. / New Testament / D. Th (New Testament)

Die Kreuzestheologie des Corpus Paulinum: Perspektiven aus dem Neuen Testament und aus der Wirkungsgeschichte / The Theology of the Cross in the Pauline Corpus: perspectives from the New Testament and from its receptionBurgi, Martin 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German with summaries in German and English / Die Kreuzestheologie erlebt seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine anhaltende
Renaissance. Die vorgelegten Beiträge gehen zwar von gemeinsamen Wurzeln aus,
verzweigen sich jedoch in vielfältige, teilweise disparate Entwürfe. Deshalb ist neu zu
fragen, was Kreuzestheologie ist. Die Antwort wird in sieben Schriften des Corpus
Paulinum gesucht, welche auf ihren kreuzestheologischen Gehalt befragt werden.
Dabei zeigt sich trotz unterschiedlich häufiger Verwendung der kreuzestheologischen
Begriffe durchwegs die entscheidende Bedeutung des Kreuzes Jesu in den
theologischen Grundlinien. Kreuzesaussagen erscheinen immer im Zusammenhang mit
den zentralen Thesen der paulinischen Briefe. Der exegetische Befund führt zum
Schluss, dass bei der paulinischen Kreuzestheologie von einem theologischen Ansatz
zu sprechen ist, der zurecht umfassenden und kritischen Anspruch auf christliche
Theologie und kirchliche Praxis erhebt. / The “theology of the cross” has seen a remarkable come-back since the beginning of
20th century. While the various contributions share similar roots, they differ widely in
their approaches and constructions. Therefore, the simple question regarding the nature
of a theology of the cross has to be raised again. This study seeks answers in seven
writings of the Corpus Paulinum, which will be examined for their use of references to
Jesus’ death on the cross. Although these letters differ significantly in their use of crossrelated terminology, they consistently testify to the crucial significance of the cross of
Jesus in their theological paradigm. Statements about the cross are always an essential
ingredient in the argumentation of these letters. The exegetical survey leads to the
conclusion that Pauline theology of the cross is an all-encompassing and critical
approach and principle for Christian theology and ecclesial practice. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)
