Retrieval Theology
Realist Retrieval
Matt Marino, PhD
Retrieval theology has all but become a subset of historical theology. To “retrieve,” in this sense, is to return to the sources (ad fontes) in order to recall the great voices of the past and bring them to bear on the present. But what exactly does it mean to bring them to bear on the present?
What Is Theological Retrieval? A Primer
Jordan L. Steffaniak, PhD
We live in the midst of a great cloud of witnesses that extends across time and space. We are not marooned in our time or geographical location. While many of these witnesses are the foundation of the household of God, like the apostles and prophets, many were faithful in later times, all jointly being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
The Good and Bad of Retrieval Theology
Shawn D. Wright, PhD
As gospel-believing Christians, we know that God has sovereignly guided the church throughout all its history. Does this mean we’re obligated to believe everything the church has ever believed? If not, what are we to hold on to from the past? This is where retrieval theology enters the picture.
