Biblical theology
Moore College has an international reputation as the home of evangelical biblical theology. In the 1950s through to the 1970s Donald Robinson pioneered a way of seeing how the whole Bible fits together as God's unfolding purposes. The underlying pattern of promise and fulfilment unfolds as God's gospel promise of salvation, first for the Jews and then for all the nations, is given to Abraham, partially fulfilled in Israel's history, and realised in the coming of the Christ. In the 1980s and 1990s these ideas were developed by Robinson's pupil, Graeme Goldsworthy, in a series of books, "Gospel and Kingdom", "According to Plan", and "Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture". Biblical theology in this mode has been characteristic of the work done at Moore College since Robinson's time as vice principal.
