Plowing In Hope: Toward A Biblical Theology Of Culture

Plowing to hope is a book designed to be a cultural theology of the Bible. Beginning with the first two chapters of Genesis, it is exploring the process of culture within its historical context These two chapters are about God's command to Adam and Eve, then in the disclosure of the new Jerusalem apocalypse It ends with. The author, David Bruce Hegeman, defines culture as "a product of human behavior in the transformation of the planet following God's commandments." In his two-day Sunday school course where Christianity and culture were taught, Hagerman wrote books from people's comments and encouragement.

The aim of Biblical theology is to mediate between Biblical religion and doctrinal theology. The theme is the former, but the method is systematization of theology, religious teaching of the Bible. The conclusion of Biblical theology should not have a determinant of doctrine. This is the subject of history aimed at clarifying what the Bible text teaches in a historical context. On the other hand, doctrinal theology has a current unconscious goal of philosing everything related to God based on pure Biblical theology, but relies on the theologian's abilities and cultural background I will. Therefore, doctrinal theology is constantly changing. Biblical theology is not itself a goal, but it is intended to provide the basis of doctrinal theology (Gabler 1980: 13739, 142)

Strictly speaking, theology of the Bible is the foundation of systematic theology. Logical and chronological Biblical theology should be prioritized over systematic theology because the order of research should be an introduction, interpretation, historical background, biblical theology, and finally systematic theology. From FIGS. 2 and 3 above it should be noted that these steps are not performed linearly to reach the final conclusion. Theologians patrol the list over and over again and adapt to new input, such as improving the interpretation of specific paragraphs. However, if there is an order for theology, the basic order seems valid.
