Understanding Biblical Theology clarifies the catch-all term biblical theology, a movement that tries to remove the often-held dichotomy between biblical studies for the Church and as an academic pursuit.

This book examines the five major schools of thought regarding biblical theology and handles each in turn, defining and giving a brief developmental history for each one, and exploring each method through the lens of one contemporary scholar who champions it. Using a spectrum between history and theology, each of five types of biblical theology are identified as either more theological or more historical in concern and practice:

  • Biblical Theology as Historical Description (James Barr)
  • Biblical Theology as History of Redemption (D. A. Carson)
  • Biblical Theology as Worldview-Story (N. T. Wright)
  • Biblical Theology as Canonical Approach (Brevard Childs)
  • Biblical Theology as Theological Construction (Francis Watson).
  • A conclusion suggests how any student of the Bible can learn from these approaches.

    I s the Bible for the church or the academy, for the people of faith or the scholars of ancient history? Should we read the Bible as the Word of God for the church or as an artifact of history? Ironically, biblical theology has been used for all of these divergent perspectives and agendas. Biblical theology has become a catchphrase, a wax nose that can mean anything from the historical-critical method applied to the Bible to a theological interpretation of Scripture that in practice appears to leave history out of the equation altogether.

    We suspect that on the ears of many the term biblical theology might seem more obvious than it is in actuality. Is not biblical theology a theology that is characterized by the Bible (thus, a theology described by the attendant adjective)? Viewed in this light, biblical theology is a theology that accords with the Bible, scriptural theology. Whether neoorthodox theology or evangelical theology, from Paul Tillich to Wayne Grudem, each theologian will declare that their theology is seeking to understand biblical revelation. We might say that Wayne Grudems theology is biblical in comparison to Paul Tillichs theology, but both in their own way are seeking to understand the Bible and thus articulate a biblical theology.

    Rather than describing a modern work of theology as either biblical or something else, here biblical theology is the theology contained within the Bible. Within this understanding of biblical theology is the implicit distinction between the theology of the Bible itself the Bibles own theology and the way that theology is to be understood and applied today.
