| Summary: | This review article evaluates two complementary volumes on the continuing dialogue between biblical studies and Christian theology, particularly how the two disciplines have had a parting of the ways over the past few centuries and how there is hope for a rapprochement to foster a greater, mutual understanding and collaboration as distinct but not divided disciplines. We agree with the authors that the disciplines of biblical studies and Christian theology integrate well but not to the extent of an ultimate synthesis wherein they lose their distinct methodologies, epistemologies, and teleologies. Moreover, we will argue that even though there is no return to a time when both disciplines were one and the same, the path forward is one of interdisciplinary respect, fruitful cross-pollination, and reciprocal accountability that will only enable biblical studies and theology to flourish better in the service of the church and academy. |
