New Testament theology is admittedly the most important and the most difficult of New Testament studies. All our other disciplines—textual criticism, the study of the grammar, idiom and vocabulary of Hellenistic Greek, the examination of the literary and historical problems which the literature of the New Testament presents—all derive their interest from their bearing on New Testament theology.

page 172 note 1 I have not discussed Paul and Paulinism in this paper, but Bultmann's analysis of the theology of Paul reverses Guignebert's thesis. W.

page 179 note 1 It is worth noting that Theodore Gaster, in his list of coincidences of phrase in the Scrolls and the gospels, gives twenty references to John as compared with nineteen in all to the Synoptics. It would seem that the Fourth Gospel is at least as closely linked with Palestinian Judaism of the first century A.D. as the Synoptics are.Google Scholar
