The disciplines of theology and biblical studies 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.
Theologian Hans Boersma here highlights five things he wishes biblical scholars knew about theology. In a companion volume, biblical scholar Scot Mc Knight reflects on five things he wishes theologians knew about biblical studies.With an irenic spirit as well as honesty about differences that remain, Boersma and Mc Knight seek to foster understanding between their disciplines through these books so they might once again collaborate with one another.
