Description
Summary:Heikki Räisänen's Beyond New Testament Theology had its second edition in 2000 and, as suggested in the title, is concerned to promote the distinction between biblical and normative theology (Gabler), and history and theology (Wrede) when constructing syntheses of the NT. After a rather comprehensive review of important NT theologies and related materials according to these categories, Räisänen proceeds to outline his programme for NT theology, which in short amounts to a history of early Christianity. In this review-article Räisänen's book is read from a postcolonial perspective, investigating the ways in which this book contributes to decolonising or de-imperialising NT theology.
