The Future of New Testament Theology

Dear Colleagues, 

Although the modern genre of “New Testament Theology” continues to attract contributions, recent years have witnessed increasingly nuanced and vocal criticism of this project as well as emerging efforts toward shifting how New Testament theology is done. A special issue of Religions will be devoted to “The Future of New Testament Theology”—including:

• reviews of recent efforts at “New Testament Theology,”
• critical engagement with the project as it has been practiced in the past quarter-century, and
• proposals for alternative forms of theological engagement with the writings of the New Testament.

Papers that demonstrate (and not only theorize about) these alternative approaches are especially welcome. Persons desiring to contribute review essays concerned with recent New Testament Theologies are encouraged first to contact the Guest Editor.

Prof. Dr. Joel B. Green
Guest Editor
