In leading readers into this book it should be stated that this book is not attempting to write a history of modern biblical interpretation. This book has chosen the theme, the use of the Christian scriptures in Christian theology, or rather the way the scriptures should put theology “on the move”- something which has always been challenging but for different reasons. For much of Christian history theologians and biblical interpreters were identical; the same persons faced the task both of exegeting the whole Bible and translating it into their theology. In the last century or two scriptural scholars and systematic theologians have normally belonged to distinct specializations. It is out of this new development that this joint work has been developed.
