Fuller's book The Foundations of New Testament Christology illustrates aspects of his scholarly publications. The treatise defines key terms, states assumptions, describes the method used, and develops implications in cumulative fashion. A treatise is a formal lengthy systematic Discourse on some subject Thus, 'Christology' (the doctrine of Jesus Christ's person) refers to a response to a particular history, not the action of God in Jesus as such nor the history itself. Analysis of New Testament Christology begins with the disciples' belief in the resurrection. Within the body of Christian beliefs the resurrection of Jesus is a core event on which much of Christian doctrine and theology depend It is concerned with "what can be known of the words and works of Jesus" and how these were interpreted. 'Foundations of New Testament Christology' refers to presuppositions of NT writers rather than to the theology of their finished product (pp. Biblical theology is a discipline within Christian theology which studies the Bible from the perspective of understanding the progressive history of God 15-17). The book considers the response of the early church as to conceptual tools available in successive environments of Palestinian Judaism, Hellenistic Judaism, and the Graeco-Roman gentile world. "What can be known" of the historical Jesus and the early church's mission depends on critical methods and tests applied to documents from the gentile mission. This article is about the academic treatment of the bible as a historical document Such methods and tests distinguish the knowledge of early writers about Jesus, their own theology, and other traditions to which they responded (pp. 17-20). The book makes explicit which elements of sources are accepted as going back to each stratum of the early church. It accepts assignment of a tradition to a specific stratum:
With the emergence of a post-Bultmann school of Biblical criticism, the concern of the book is "to establish a continuity of the historical Jesus and the christological kerygma of the post-resurrection church. Rudolf Karl Bultmann ( August 20, 1884 – July 30, 1976) was a German theologian of Lutheran background who This article is about the academic treatment of the bible as a historical document Kerygma ( Greek: κήρυγμα kérugma, pronounced "kay-roog-ma" is the Greek word used in the New Testament for preaching (see Luke " The real continuity, Fuller felt, "was obscured, if not actually denied, by Bultmann's own work," to the possible disadvantage of the church's proclamation (p. 11). The analysis of the book concludes that the christological foundations of the early church (as recoverable from the New Testament and formulations of church fathers) "are also the foundations of Christology today" (p. 257).
