Description
The book examined the birth, growth of Biblical theology from the apostolic, church Fathers’ era in a brief using it as a springboard for the future of Biblical theology in Africa. The paper noted that Biblical theology was surnamed Dogmatics at the onset. Dogmatics existed as the rule for faith in all ecclesiastical practice till the time when scholars saw it fit that the Bible is capable of speaking for itself rather than rules that are devoid of sound Biblical text. There and then a scientific approach to Biblical interpretation gained the purview of the church. Ever since then, Biblical theological studies as a discipline had grown severally into several theological disciplines and it is still growing. The question now is what is going to be the future of Biblical theological interpretation? The writer proposes a continuous robust interpretation that will wrestle with the center of Biblical Theology because this pursuit is diametrical and so interwoven that one can move from any point to another topic like swimming in its ocean depth. However, the author sounds like a note of warning for interpreters never to forget the root of the biblical text.
