The disciplines of biblical studies and theology should serve each other, and they should serve both the church and the academy together. But the relationship between them is often marked by misunderstandings, methodological differences, and cross-discipline tension.
New Testament scholar Scot Mc Knight here highlights five things he wishes theologians knew about biblical studies. In a companion volume, theologian Hans Boersma reflects on five things he wishes biblical scholars knew about theology.
With an irenic spirit as well as honesty about differences that remain, Mc Knight and Boersma seek to foster understanding between their disciplines through these books so they might once again collaborate with one another.
