Biblical Faith by Gerd Theißen
An Evolutionary Approach
A study that interprets the Bible as the record of a dynamic, culturally evolving faith, tracing its development from Israel’s early traditions through Jesus and the first communities; it describes how law, prophecy, wisdom, apocalyptic hope, and gospel each arose as adaptive responses to historical crises, reshaping images of God and communal life. Integrating historical-critical work with sociological and evolutionary models, it argues that the vitality of this faith lies in its capacity to transform tradition into ethical critique and hope, fostering freedom, responsibility, and openness, and remaining a resource for dialogue within contemporary pluralism.
