Excerpt from Library of Biblical and Theological Literature, Vol. 6 It is not to be thought strange that theories differed. The sub dwerences ject is one of the profoundest. It lies in the mystery OF doctrine Of the divine incarnation. The divine Son invests him self in human nature. SO far the Statement of the incarnation is easily made but the statement leaves us on the surface of the pro found reality. With a merely tactual or sympathetic union of the two natures, and consequently two distinct persons in Christ, the reality of the divine incarnation disappears. With the two distinct natures, and the two classes of divine and human facts, how can he be one person? Is the divine nature humanized, or the human nature deified in him? Or did the union of the two natures result in a third nature different from both, and so provide for the oneness of his personality? The Scriptures make no direct answer to these questions. They give us many Christological facts, but in elementary form, and leave the construction of a doctrine of the person of Christ to the resources of Christian thought.

One of the thorniest problems in theological study is the relationship between biblical studies on the one hand, and constructive theology on the other. Theologians know that the Bible is the core source document for theological construction, and hence that they must be in conversation with the best in critical study of Scripture. For many biblical scholars, the point of what they do is to help the biblical text speak to today’s church and world, and hence they would do well to be in conversation with contemporary theology. Yet too often the two groups fail to engage each other’s work in significant and productive ways. The purpose of the Library of Biblical Theology, and this introductory volume to it, is to bring the worlds of biblical scholarship and constructive theology together. It will do so by reviving biblical theology as a discipline that describes the faith of the biblical periods on the one hand, and on the other hand articulates normative understandings of modern faith and practice. In this volume the authors begin by providing an overview of the history and possible future of biblical theology. They introduce biblical theology as a fundamentally contrastive discipline, one that is neither dogmatic theology (seeking to explain the official teachings of a particular Christian tradition), nor is it a purely historical approach to Scripture, eschewing questions of the Bible’s contemporary message and meaning. Rather, biblical theology takes seriously both the need to understand the message of Scripture in its particular historical context, and the need to address that message to questions that confront contemporary human life.

Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory, Vol. 6: April, 1834 It is a mistake to suppose that this portion of education may be committed to feeble and incompetent hands - that it may be negli gently conducted without much injury - and that all its omissions and defects are to be made up and supplied during the few years that are passed in College. This is what a College does not profess to do. It is what a College cannot do. Its professors, however learned, cannot bring back the time that has 'gone by, nor cause the work to be done, which that time was allotted for performing. If it were allowable at present to dwell longer upon this subject, it might be added with un questionable truth, that the examinations for admission into College ought to be considered as the disinterested judgment of enlightened and competent men upon the progress that has been made. There can be no motive for unreasonable strictness. The bias, if any there he, must be on the other side. There is great danger, indeed, that the motives for undue laxity will be too much increased, since insti tutions professing to teach the higher branches have become so multi plied in ourcountry; some of them struggling fora precarious existence, with the fear of poverty always before their eyes. But if in the faith ful discharge of their duty as examiners for admission into College, professors are obliged to make known to parents, that their children are not qualified, however unwelcome such a communication may be, parents, if considerate, will receive it as information given to them for their own benefit, and instead of complaining, or seeking to evade its effects by appealing to a more liberal tribunal, or a more indulgent interpretation, Will profit by it, for the benefit of their offspring, by sending them to places of instruction, where their defects can be sup plied. A little more time may qualify them to enjoy the advantages of College. What Will they be profited by entering College, if they be not so qualified? At best, they can reap but a barren honour.
