Biblical Theology<br />
Understanding Biblical Theology<br />
A Comparison of Theory and Practice<br />
edward w. klink iii and darian r. lockett<br />
“The popularity of biblical theology shows no signs of abating, but the variety of approaches to the<br />
subject can be confusing and daunting. Klink and Lockett provide a landscape for understanding<br />
the discipline by setting forth five different approaches to biblical theology. This much-needed work<br />
fills a large gap and will be received gratefully by both professors and students.”<br />
—Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary<br />
“Biblical Theology—scholars and pastors alike drop the phrase effortlessly, but no one’s quite sure<br />
what it really means. And in recent years the misunderstanding and frustrations have only multiplied.<br />
Now here comes Understanding Biblical Theology, a primer for the uninitiated and map for<br />
the theologically well-versed. If there is any hope for biblical theologians to stop talking past one<br />
another, it’s time we had a conversation about the conversation. A book like this is just the place to<br />
start.”<br />

biblical studies<br />
Understanding Biblical Theology examines the five major schools of thought considered “biblical<br />
theology,” giving a brief developmental history and exploring one contemporary scholar who<br />
champions each method. Using a spectrum between history and theology, each of five “types” of<br />
biblical theology are identified as either “more theological” or “more historical” in concern and<br />
practice. A conclusion suggests how any student of the Bible can learn from these approaches.<br />
