In Chapter One we compare significant features of the NT theology of F. C. Baur to that of J. C. K. von Hofmann. The key questions are: What is NT theology? What epistemological position is assumed in NT theological work? What view of history informs the composition of a NT theology? Then we compare W. Wrede and A. Schlatter along the same lines. A fundamental divergence emerges regarding how NT theology is to be undertaken, with Baur-Wrede comprising the basis for a 'critical orthodox' heritage on the one hand and Hofmann-Schlatter representing a contrasting hgl. perspective on the other. In Chapter Two we examine the tension between hgl. and non-hgl. approaches in both OT and NT theology between the World Wars. There is a continuing fundamental divergence in approach in both disciplines which is reflected in the respective oft-heard terms Religionsgeschichte and Hg. While many today see O. Cullmann as the initiator of modern discussion about Hg. , we see that Hg. is a focus of attention in both OT and NT theology well before Cullmann's influence begins to be felt. This is hardly due merely to the intrusion of 19th century philosophy of history into biblical studies. In Chapter Three we continue to document the bifurcation in biblical studies between two basic approaches to NT (and OT) theology. We propose that B. Childs' criticisms of revelation of history fall short of successfully countering the contentions of hgl. proponents in NT (OT) theology. G. von Rad and W. Eichrodt champion problematic approaches to Hg. , while E. Jacob represents a position more in keeping with the parameters established by Hofmann-Schlatter. In NT theology, despite R. Bultmann's profound influence, a number of figures strive for a hgl. synthesis. This is largely independent of the work of Cullmann. In Chapter Four we investigate Cullmann's proposals. We argue that he is inadequately understood when seen as merely imposing a philosophy of history on the NT texts, as has been charged. We compare his contentions to representative major criticisms. Although Cullmann is materially indebted to Hofmann-Schlatter to a negligible degree, it is possible to see formal similarities in their approaches as they contrast to 'critical orthodox' methods. In Chapter Five we steer a course similar to that followed in chapter one. This time however critical orthodoxy's spokesman is R. Bultmann, while hgl. positions are variously represented by M. Albertz, G. Ladd, and L. Goppelt. Bultmann largely carries on in the steps of Baur and Wrede, while Albertz-Ladd-Goppelt, despite mutual differences, carry on a hgl. approach to the NT data. This hgl. approach does not seem I to owe a great deal to Cullmann. That various scholars stemming from somewhat discrete traditions come to comparable conclusions in proposing hgl. alternatives to Bultmann, may speak in favor of the validity of the hgl. outlook, at least as a viable critical option. In the Conclusion we summarize our aims and results. Both OT and NT theology have long been rent by fundamental unresolved methodological questions. Hg. in NT theology needs to be understood more broadly than as a historiographical or theological aberration introduced by Cullmann. The critical orthodox approach, despite its contributions, risks failing to meet its ostensible historical aims out of deference to contemporary philosophical belief. The hgl. perspective seeks a balance between contemporary convictions and the claims of the NT. We suggest areas for further study and list possible specific contributions of the hgl. perspective when seen in contrast to critical orthodoxy.

The first is the element of innovation, the ability to enrich research on the theme. The second is that it should promote new ways of reading. We therefore believe that this thesis has met the expectation, the innovative element of this research being the deconstruction of the concept of the creation saga proposed by Karl Barth. It is new because we could not find, as we had suspected, any author, or even work or research that proposed to face the same task. Instead, there are even some authors that highly praise the research conducted by Karl Barth, as is the case of Coats and Brueggemann. Although they respond to some points of Barth s theology, they did not specifically deal with the concept of saga. The second aspect, structurally related to the first, is that it promotes new possibilities of reading. Using the approach of Paul Ricoeur, we propose a new biblical hermeneutics, based on what this author calls a long way, which makes use of various methods, including the historical-critical, to seek an interpretation of the text world which manages to make sense of the world outside the text. We believe that this proposal can overcome the purely dogmatic reading of the text world. According to Ricoeur, we believe that the foundational elements that guided the hermeneutic of Dasein, or even around the subject/object relation can contribute to a new hermeneutic, since it does not make the same concessions to the knowing subject. Thus, the possibility of a new reading appears from what Ricoeur has defined in dialectical relationship between the text world and the world outside the text, as a transforming and revelant representation. And this is where the Holy Scriptures has the the position of source of revelation and inspiration. / O que caracteriza uma pesquisa acadêmica num curso de doutorado é a apresentação de dois quesitos fundamentais. O primeiro é o elemento de inovação, capaz de enriquecer a pesquisa sobre o tema proposto. O segundo é o dos apontamentos como possibilidades de promoverem novos caminhos de releituras. Nesse sentido, nos convencemos de que a presente tese atende a expectativa, pois, o elemento inovador desta pesquisa é a desconstrução do conceito de saga da criação proposto por Karl Barth. É novo porque não encontramos, como suspeitávamos, nenhum autor, ou mesmo obra ou pesquisa que tenha proposto esta mesma tarefa. Ao contrário, há até alguns autores que enaltecem a pesquisa realizada por Karl Barth, como é o caso de Coats e Brueggemann. Apesar de reagirem a alguns pontos da teologia de Barth, porém, não o fizeram, especificamente, ao conceito de saga. O segundo quesito, estruturalmente ligado ao primeiro, é o que promove as possibilidades de releituras. A partir do pensamento de Paul Ricoeur propomos uma nova hermenêutica bíblica, fundamentada a partir daquilo que Ricoeur chamou de via longa, que utiliza-se de vários métodos, inclusive o histórico crítico, para se buscar uma interpretação do mundo do texto que gere sentido ao mundo frente ao texto. Acreditamos que esta proposta é capaz de superar a leitura puramente dogmática do mundo do texto. De acordo com Ricoeur, acreditamos que os elementos fundantes que pautaram a hermenêutica em torno do Dasein, ou mesmo, em torno da relação sujeito/objeto podem contribuir para uma nova hermenêutica, desde que não façam as mesmas concessões ao sujeito conhecente. Assim, a possibilidade de uma nova releitura se revela a partir daquilo que Ricoeur definiu, na relação dialética entre mundo do texto e mundo frente ao texto, como representância (réprésentance) revelante e transformante. E é nesse ponto que as Sagradas Escrituras ocupam o posto de fonte de revelação e inspiração.
