Canonical approaches to New Testament theology: An evangelical evaluation of Childs and Trobisch.
Armstrong, Ryan Melvin.

Canonical approaches to New Testament theology: An evangelical evaluation of Childs and Trobisch. - 146 p.

Adviser: Scott Kellum.

Thesis (Th.M.)--Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2007.

There is a growing interest in the canon of Christian Scripture, both in the understanding of its historical process of canonization and in its hermeneutical implications. One particular approach to Scripture that seeks to deal with the hermeneutical implications of canon is known as the "canonical approach." While the canonical approach has taken many forms, this study focuses specifically on two theologians: Brevard S. Childs and David Trobisch. It is argued in this thesis that Childs and Trobisch each present approaches to New Testament theology from which evangelicals can benefit and with which they should be in dialogue.

520 $a There is a growing interest in the canon of Christian Scripture, both in the understanding of its historical process of canonization and in its hermeneutical implications. One particular approach to Scripture that seeks to deal with the hermeneutical implications of canon is known as the "canonical approach." While the canonical approach has taken many forms, this study focuses specifically on two theologians: Brevard S. Childs and David Trobisch. It is argued in this thesis that Childs and Trobisch each present approaches to New Testament theology from which evangelicals can benefit and with which they should be in dialogue.
520 $a Childs first developed his canonical approach as a continuation of reactions against theological liberalism. He feels that mainstream scholarship is overly focused on the descriptive tasks of historians, rather than the theological tasks of the church. He feels that too many scholars only ask what the text meant, rather than what it means.
520 $a His canonical approach recognizes that the canon contains a divine quality and is authoritative for the church. While not ruling out the use of historical criticism, he says the canon of Scripture is the appropriate context from which one should interpret a text. His method is distinguished from canonical criticism, which is typically another Enlightenment-style criticism for assisting in the descriptive tasks. Instead, Childs's canonical approach is in principle a mindset of submission to the authoritative text of Scripture.
520 $a Childs's particular exegesis is influenced by his training in tradition history. He seeks to understand the way tradents reshaped earlier traditions with a focus on engendering faith for future generations. This growth of tradition also includes the New Testament writers' reinterpretation of the Old Testament.
520 $a He feels these writers, tradents, and editors maintained a "canon-consciousness" throughout their work. Childs's exegesis seeks to understand their intentions as they selected what would be included in the canon. In Childs's view, this makes historical-critical tools important as one listens to the time-bound texts in their own voice, but it is also important to deal theologically with the diversity in the canon as a whole. The canon provides the boundaries around which theology is done.
520 $a Evangelicals can appreciate much that Childs has to offer, but also should be aware of his inconsistencies and his critical stances that often undermine his approach. Childs has received mixed reactions from New Testament scholarship within and outside of evangelicalism. Many scholars feel it necessary to deal with the hermeneutical implications of the fact of a canon, often because of Childs. Other scholars before and since have wrestled with the question of an embedded canon-consciousness within the New Testament. One of these is David Trobisch.
520 $a Drawing upon the ideas of T. C. Skeat. Trobisch puts forth a bold new theory of the process that the New Testament undertook to become canon. Rather than tracing the theology of early church fathers regarding the authority of Scripture and their use of individual New Testament books, Trobisch tries to find the form of the New Testament in its first publication.
520 $a The publication of New Testament texts, according to Trobisch, began with Paul as he published his letters to defend his theology against the Jerusalem apostles. This polemical motive was carried on in the second century, as a group of Christians published the entire Christian Bible in reaction to heresies and to the Jewish people. When they put the New Testament together, this group concealed the division between Paul and the Jerusalem apostles. The publication of the Christian Bible was both a reflection of the beliefs of this group as well as a tool to overcome their rivals.
520 $a He looks for evidence of editorial features specific to this "canonical edition." These features include the consistent division of the New Testament books into four literary units, the ordering of the books, the use of the codex rather than the scroll, the use of the nomina sacra rather than the Tetragram, and the titles of the books. Rather than looking at the debates over the canonicity of individual books in the early church as though the church was seeking a consensus with which to back a canonical edition, Trobisch takes it as a questioning of an existing canonical edition.
520 $a According to Trobisch, today's church is derived from the community that published the New Testament. The intent of the editors becomes canon. The church today should seek to implement the editorial features of this group in current editions of the Bible, including the recognition of the Greek translation of the Old Testament as canon.
520 $a Scholars are reluctant to completely embrace or reject this new theory. Evangelical scholars have been intrigued by it, however. Trobisch presents new questions and challenges for them to address. Trobisch's proposal provides interesting implications for both hermeneutics and apologetics. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
