Konstruksi Teologi Bagi Gereja dan Israel Dalam Roma 11:25-27

Romans 11:25-27 is part of the New Testament which is quite difficult to interpret. Many debates have arisen from biblical scholars in interpreting this passage. Theological pre-assumptions can divert the interpretation of the text. The systematic theological approach can lead the interpreter's understanding not intended by the author of the book. Biblical theology must be produced through an interpretive process that pays attention to the elements of biblical texts. In interpreting Romans 11:25-27, an interpreter needs to pay attention to textual, contextual, intertextual and theological elements. Thus Romans 11:25-27 is not interpreted in the lens of systematic theology (soteriology, ecclesiology and eschatology), but pays attention to the text and the final format of the book. Thus, there is no need to continue the debate on predestination and the nature of the church in relation to Israel in both a pastoral and academic context. Understanding Romans 11:25-27 makes believers active in preaching the gospel to implement God's great plan for the church and Israel. Ultimately, God is glorified by the two communities that God has chosen.

PENGHARAPAN DI TENGAH PENGHUKUMAN: SEBUAH TEOLOGI KITAB RATAPAN

The right response is to recognize sin and repent and hope in God. God's faithful love and mercy are a strong foundation of hope for believers.

HERMENEUTIKA TEOLOGI PENTAKOSTA

The term hermeneutic comes from the Greek word hermeneuo, which means to convey (a thought or desire), explain (a speech), and translate (something from one language to another). This word is related to the god Hermes, a god in Greek mythology whose job is to convey the message of the gods to humans as recipients. Hermeneutics has always been used as the science and art of interpreting Scripture. It is important to note that hermeneutics is closely related to biblical studies, such as canon studies, textual criticism, historical criticism, exegesis, biblical theology and systematic theology. === Istilah hermeneutic berasal dari kata Yunani hermeneuo, yang berarti menyampaikan (suatu pikiran atau keinginan), menjelaskan (suatu ucapan), dan menerjemahkan (sesuatu dari satu bahasa ke bahasa yang lain). Kata ini berhubungan dengan Dewa Hermes yaitu dewa dalam mitologi Yunani yang bertugas menyampaikan berita dari para dewa kepada manusia sebagai penerimanya.1 Hermeneutik selalu digunakan sebagai ilmu pengetahuan serta seni dari penafsiran kitab Suci. Penting untuk diperhatikan bahwa hermeneutik berkaitan erat dengan kajian-kajian alkitabiah, seperti, kajian kanon, kritik teks, kritik historis, eksegesis, teologi alkitabiah serta teologi sistematis.

Edmund P. Clowney’s Triangle of Typology in Preaching and Biblical Theology

Edmund Clowney created a triangle diagram to explain the func- tion of types in the Old Testament. The triangle has since become known as “Clowney’s triangle.” It has proved fruitful, and several people have incorporated it into their principles for interpretation and their interpretations of individual types. Let us reflect on its significance. KEYWORDS:

Is New Testament Theology Still Having an Identity Crisis? A Review of Five Recent Contributions

This article reviews five recent contributions to the field of New Testament theology. More accurately, three NT theologies will be examined alongside two biblical theologies, given that some regard NT theology as inherently deficient apart from OT theology. These five works are notable not only for their diversity of methodology but also their diversity of cultural perspective—one book by a Finn (Timo Eskola’s A Narrative Theology of the New Testament), one by two Germans (Reinhard Feldmeier’s and Hermann Spieckermann’s God of the Living: A Biblical Theology), one by a Canadian (Thomas R. Hatina’s New Testament Theology and its Quest for Relevance: Ancient Texts and Modern Readers), one by an American (Craig L. Blomberg’s A New Testament Theology), and one by a native Briton (John Goldingay’s Biblical Theology). Along the way, this review article will consider how these works navigate the tricky and contested terrain of NT (or biblical) theology, particularly vis-à-vis matters of history, canon, synthesis and diversity, and contemporary relevance.

The Theological Project of W. Brueggemann and the Perspectives of the Biblical Theology in the XXI Century

Статья посвящена творчеству выдающегося библеиста и богослова Уолтера Брюггемана. У. Брюггеман известен не только как авторитетный исследователь и комментатор многих ветхозаветных текстов, но и как представитель традиции «библейского богословия» - всё менее популярного в западных научных кругах направления гуманитарной мысли. На богословское начинание американского теолога существенное влияние оказали новейшие течения в современной западной философии и литературоведении (постструктурализм, деконструктивизм, риторический критицизм, семиотика). В статье исследуется, в какой мере У. Брюггеману удалось совместить приверженность постмодернистской герменевтике и верность традиции библейского богословия. The article analyses the work of the outstanding bible writer and theologian W. Brueggemann. Bruggeman is known not only as an authoritative researcher and commentator of many Old Testament texts but also as a representative of the tradition of «biblical theology», a trend of humanitarian thought that is becoming less popular in Western scientific circles. The theological endeavour of the American theologian was significantly influenced by the latest trends in modern Western philosophy and literature studies (poststructuralism, deconstructivism, rhetorical criticism, semiotics). The article explores the extent to which Bruggeman has managed to combine his commitment to postmodern hermeneutics with his loyalty to the tradition of biblical theology.
