This article concerns itself with the shifts in approach taking place within systematic theology. In the field, there is a tendency to move away from all-encompassing systems towards a more restricted treatment of particular issues and their ambiguity. The article deals with the writings of one of the representatives of this development from German speaking scholarship, Hartmut Rosenau, a Lutheran theologian. By grounding his theology in the Biblical wisdom tradition, Rosenau questions the significance of tradition and eschatology, focusing on the value of everyday-life as it is described in the Old Testament and the Lutheran doctrine on justification by faith.
