What is the Function of Biblical Theology in the Life of the Local Church?
Protects Our Fidelity
- Some scholars and pastors have argued that having an overarching Biblical theology in mind spoils the integrity of the exegetical endeavor by assuming the conclusion in the premises.
- Yet accurately understanding the part of any whole requires at least some broad understanding of the function and position of the part relative to the whole.
- Biblical theology therefore functions in the local church to keep our detailed study and preaching accountable and faithful to the broad story line of the Bible.
