| Summary: | From time to time the meaningfulness of the idea of biblical theology is questioned, but the production of works of biblical theology continues apace. This survey looks at five figures who have been active in the field over recent decades, though in most cases without writing volumes called ‘Biblical theology’. It studies the five figures as representatives of five different understandings of the subject. It starts from James Barr (biblical theology as historical description) and goes on to consider D. A. Carson (biblical theology as history of redemption), N. T. Wright (biblical theology as worldview-story), Brevard Childs (biblical theology as canonical approach), and Francis Watson (biblical theology as theological construction). |
