The Theology of the Apostles: The Development of New Testament Theology

Until this day, Adolf Schlatter's incisive theological work has remained something of a well-kept secret among English-speaking theologians and biblical scholars. The Anglo-American scholarly guild has been slow to award Schlatter the respect due him. During his lifetime, none of Schlatter's books were translated into English. His true stature, however, can be appreciated by the fact that the first volume of Gerhard Kittel's massive Theological Dictionary of the New Testament is dedicated to Kittel's teacher--Adolf Schlatter. While Schlatter may best be known for his commentaries on Matthew, John, or Romans, his theological approach is given its most pronounced expression in the two-volume Die Theologie des Neuen Testaments, written during his Tbingen years. Schlatter claimed the primacy of historical research in New Testament theology, rejecting the intrusion of subjective, idealistic notions into the discipline. His insistence on the distinction between the two "horizons" of the biblical text, the ancient and the contemporary, and his affirmation of the preeminence of the first horizon are as timely today as they were then. At the same time, Schlatter did not rest content with historical exegesis. He urged the pursuit of "the doctrinal task, . . . [as] not only truth for the New Testament community, but also for us personally." Praise for Adolf Schlatter: Stephen Neill: "There are certain writers of the past--Augustine, Calvin, Bengel, Westcott, Schlatter--to whom we shall always turn with gratitude for the timeless insights that are to be found in their writings." Peter Stuhlmacher: "Adolf Schlatter . . . was theologically the most important figure in the faculty of Protestant Theology at Tbingen in the first third of the century." Martin Hengel: "The most significant evangelical theologian in Tbingen during the past two hundred years."

One of the best-kept secrets of the modern scholarly world and arguably one of the most overlooked but brilliant New Testament interpreters of the twentieth century, Adolf Schlatter was a prolific, controversial, individualistic, iconoclastic, and theological luminary whose academic career spanned nearly six decades. In the present climate of renewed interest in Paul and his theology, the appearance of a translation of Gottes Gerechtigkeit, Schlatter's profound and controversial commentary on Paul's letter to the Romans, is both fitting and timely. Schlatter's unapologetically theological understanding of Romans met with opposition from many sides during its day, and it will surely provoke controversy today as well. It is destined to raise new questions for any reader who takes seriously the writings and theology of Paul.
"This excellent translation of Adolf Schlatter's Gottes Gerechtigkeit renders an invaluable service to biblical studies, especially to all those involved in Pauline studies. Peter Stuhlmacher's foreword gives a helpful introduction to Schlatter, who remains to many an unfamiliar figure despite his extensive writings and profound thought. Schlatter's representation of the meaning of Paul's letter to the Romans will challenge, stimulate, and perhaps even irritate as it brings to light fresh ideas concerning the depths of Paul's theology. Schlatter's comprehensive and coherent treatment of Paul's understanding of God, Christ, righteousness, humanity, sin, the law, grace, eschatology, and the Christian life is a treasure of scholarly insights with crucial relevance to the reality of Christian faith and practice." Â—Marion L. Soards, Professor of New Testament, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
