Excerpt from The Theology of the New Testament Ment and that of the New - may be best described by comparison with the more familiar subject of study, Systematic Theology, from Which it will be seen to differ in two or three clearly marked features. First, in its aim. It does not attempt to state truth absolutely: it seeks to elucidate a certain presentation of truth. Second, in its materials. These are con fined to the pages of the-bible While Systematic Theology, even when relying mainly on Scripture, appeals to nature, conscience, reason, experience, etc., for the confirmation of its results, if not for the data of its arguments. Third, in its method. The systematic theologian undertakes to balance and harmonise the truths of religion, in order to Show their organic relationship in a compact body of Divinity; the student of Biblical Theology, on the other hand, proceeds to trace the development of revelation as this emerges through the successive books of Scripture, and to compare the various forms in which its ideas are conceived by the several teacher's there represented, Thus it is less ambitious.
