Understanding Biblical Theology : A Comparison of Theory and Practice
Outline: Scholars tout various approaches to the Bible as "biblical theology," offering a dizzying array of methods for understanding the Bible as ancient history and as sacred Scripture. This book examines the five major schools of thought considered "biblical theology," giving a brief developmental history and exploring one contemporary scholar who champions each method. Using a spectrum between history and theology, each of the five ""types" are identified as either "more theological" or "more historical" in concern and practice:
- Biblical Theology as Historical Description (James Barr);
- Biblical Theology as Historical of Redemption (D. A. Carson);
- Biblical Theology as Worldview-Story (N. T. Wright);
- Biblical Theology as Canonical Approach (Brevard Childs); and
- Biblical Theology as Theological Construction (Francis Watson).
An equally informative conclusion suggests how any student of the Bible can learn from these approaches.
