Excerpt from Biblical Theology of the New Testament Our subject is the Christian religion a we find it distinctly laid down in the New Testament Scriptures. Hence it follows that it treats only of such parts of the Bible as relate to the Christian religion, and especially, that opinions, either non-religious or non-Christian, - those peculiar to the Jews for instance, - which are occasionally mentioned, concern us here only so far as they tend to throw light upon Christianity. We are bound, moreover, in the treatment of our subject, to adhere closely to the stamp set upon Christianity in the New Testament in opposition to more modern theories, except where these may help to elucidate the former. Our science embraces the New Testament dogmas and morality, consequently the whole of Christianity as contained in the New Testament. We claim for it the title of an historical exposition, as it at once accepts the Christianity of the New Testament as a matter of fact, and as such seeks to investigate it and to set forth its gradual development. The term Biblical Theology, however, is hardly precise enough, because it does not sufficiently distinguish between our science and either exegesis or systematic theology. But if for the name adopted we were to substitute Biblical Dogmatics, then on the one hand a confusion might readily arise between our science and systematic theology, and on the other hand the term is too narrow, because our subject is not confined to mere dogma.
