A summary of the positions:
I. Johnston (Free Church): Introduction: Unity and Diversity in Evangelical Theology – introduces the theme, defines evangelicalism and evangelical theology
II. Pinnock (Baptist): How I Use the Bible in Doing Theology – hermeneutical theology; only what is revelation (only Scripture) can be made a matter of theological truth
III. Packer (Anglican): In Quest of Canonical Interpretation – texts must be understood in their human context
IV. Spittler (Pentecostal): Scripture and the Theological Enterprise: View from a Big Canoe – exegetical theology
V. Bloesch (Reformed): A Christological Hermeneutic: Crisis and Conflict in Hermeneutics – goes beyond the literal sense of the text to its larger significance
VI. Yoder (Mennonite): The Use of the Bible in Theology – theology as an activity meant to correct and renew the church
VII. Dayton (Wesleyan): The Use of Scripture in the Wesleyan Tradition – theology rooted in a recovery of Wesleyan truth
VIII. Webber (Anglican): An Evangelical and Catholic Methodology – theology is an activity from out of the church’s tradition; must study the church father’s dogmatic development
IX. Dyrness (Reformed): How Does the Bible Function in the Christian Life? – Scripture as a two-directional contextual hermeneutic
X. Wells (Congregational): The Nature and Function of Theology – decoding/encoding; the significance of the ’sola scriptura’ principle
XI. Fackre (Congregational): The Use of Scripture in My Work in Systematics – full-orbed approach; world, church, Scripture, and the Gospel core all have their function
