Free eBook Resource of the Month: Understanding Biblical Theology: A Comparison of Theory and Practice by Edward W. Klink III
Cutting through the confusing array of interpretive strategies that claim the term “biblical theology,” Edward Klink and Darian Lockett consider five schools of thought regarding biblical theology and handle 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. The five approaches to biblical theology include:
Biblical Theology as Historical Description—James Barr
Biblical Theology as Historical Redemption—D. A. Carson
Biblical Theology as Worldview—N. T. Wright
Biblical Theology as Canonical Approach—Brevard S. Childs
Biblical Theology as Theological Construction—Francis Watson
Klink and Lockett conclude by suggesting ways by which students of the Bible can learn from these approaches.
