| Summary: | This article briefly explores the character and content of the corrective element in the Old Testament and also draws the line through to the New Testament, i.e. to Jesus Christ. Attention is given to the attitude of the Old Testament to evil powers, man, the covenant people, the proclaimers of the Word, the listeners or readers, and the Old Testament itself. The relevance of this corrective element in the practice of theology is also cursorily explored. The conclusion is that theology implies imperfect human reflection on Scripture as the perfect Word of God. Theology should he practised in humility, continually being tested against Scripture as norm and accordingly being reformed. Furthermore, theology should not merely criticise or condemn other approaches but should have a missionary inclination. |
