English summary: Towards a Biblical Theology - this is how the fifty years of theological research of the New Testament scholar Peter Stuhlmacher could be summarized. Although once a student of Ernst Kasemann, he developed a position that is quite different from Rudolf Bultmann's, who was very influential in German theology in the 20th century. Stuhlmacher not only had a great impact on many pastors of the protestant church within Germany, but also captured the attention of many across the globe and from various denominations - even the attention of the Pope in his Jesus-book. This monograph gives an extensive introduction into the lifework of Peter Stuhlmacher. Due to his research focus, fundamental questions of New Testament theology are examined: the meaning of the Old Testament for New Testament exegesis, Biblical hermeneutics, the interpretation of Jesus' death in the New Testament and the question of the historicity of the messianic claims of Jesus. Stuhlmacher's traditio-historical Biblical Theology of the New Testament is illuminated critically, and the fundamental question is discussed: How can a unifying strand be identified from the diverse New Testament theologies? German text. German description: Unterwegs zu einer Biblischen Theologie - so lassen sich die funfzig Jahre theologischer Forschungsarbeit des Neutestamentlers Peter Stuhlmacher zusammenfassen. Der einstige Schuler Ernst Kasemanns entwickelte gegenuber der Bultmann-Schule sehr eigenstandige Thesen, mit denen er nicht nur viele evangelische Pfarrer in Deutschland pragte, sondern auch international und interkonfessionell grosse Beachtung fand. Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Einfuhrung in das Lebenswerk Peter Stuhlmachers. Mit dessen Forschungsschwerpunkten kommen Grundfragen neutestamentlicher Theologie in den Blick: die Bedeutung des Alten Testaments fur neutestamentliche Exegese, Biblische Hermeneutik, die Deutung von Jesu Tod im Neuen Testament und die Frage nach der Historizitat des messianischen Anspruches Jesu. Die Konzeption von Stuhlmachers Biblischer Theologie des Neuen Testaments wird kritisch beleuchtet und daraufhin analysiert, wie die Einheit in der Vielfalt neutestamentlicher Theologien zu bestimmen ist.
