Chaos, not something that you often think of when you think about
the Bible. Kallas takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of biblical
theology that could "alter all that follows" in Biblical Studies.
Kallas begins Biblical Chaos with this explosive paragraph: "The
Gospel of John relentlessly and radically reverses the theology of
Paul and the message of the synoptic Jesus. The Gospel of John is
powerfully and persistently opposed to the basic worldview
underlying those earlier New Testament writings. The New Testament
is split asunder. The two halves are at odds with each other."
Kallas proceeds to take the reader through this morass to
convincingly demonstrate that the New Testament is bipolar in which
the earliest books (the Synoptic Gospels and the writings of Paul)
exhibit a worldview, a definition of sin, and an understanding of
the work of Jesus that is ruthlessly rejected by John and the later
New Testament writings. While that assertion is in itself
astounding, his conclusions are even more stunning. He contends
that the diverse theological contents of the New Testament can only
be correctly understood when a reader holds the opposites in
tension that are contradictory. Choosing one specific view that is
at odds with another specific view leaves one with no truth, while
holding the opposites together provides one with accurate biblical
truth.
