| Summary: | The term ‘Heilsgeschichte’ reminds one a little of the state of affairs in Israel when there was no king: everyone understands it ‘as seems right in his own eyes’. In part this variety of understandings arises because the Bible itself has varied views and emphases about history and salvation, but also in part because scholars have a variety of emotional responses and intellectual understandings with regard to the term ‘Heilsgeschichte’, itself a word which has been with us as a technical term for roughly a century and a half-that is, during the whole period of modern critical Bible study. To complicate matters, there are related concepts which often colour our understandings of the term-for example, ‘stewardship’ and ‘dispensationalism’, particularly in the English-speaking world; and the notion of an ‘economy of God’, wherever the patristic tradition weighs heavily in biblical studies. |
