What is Understanding Biblical Theology : A Comparison of Theory and Practice about?

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