The disciplines of theology and biblical studies should serve each other, and they should serve both the church and the academy together. But the relationship between them is often marked by misunderstandings, methodological differences, and cross-discipline tension.
Theologian Hans Boersma here highlights five things he wishes biblical scholars knew about theology. In a companion volume, biblical scholar Scot McKnight reflects on five things he wishes theologians knew about biblical studies.
With an irenic spirit as well as honesty about differences that remain, Boersma and McKnight seek to foster understanding between their disciplines through these books so they might once again collaborate with one another.

The Bible makes the best sense within the context of the church. Its function can never be wholly determined by the academy. This is the perfect handbook on how to make the academic study of the Bible the handmaiden of theological study, instead of its replacement as in so many seminaries and universities today.
Long Overdue!

In each of the five chapters, Boersma promoted a certain lens needed for approaching scripture: christology, neo-platonism, providence, church dogma and traditions, and contemplation. These are not bad caveats in and of themselves, and I mostly enjoyed listening, especially to chapter 2. But he recognizes throughout that all of these lenses can be misused, and his ultimate standard against which he measures right and wrong uses seems to be the church fathers and church leaders, in other words mostly white men.
This problem can be encapsulated by his overall use of male-centered language and his lack of reference to any women (at least that I noticed in the audiobook) except for one imagined 19th century black women who would interpret the Exodus differently than he does. However, he fails to ever value her contribution to the task of interpretation, or to propose any way in which she might be able to participate. In fact he asserts the primacy of our identity in Christ so vehemently over the acknowledged different interpretations that stem from social location that it seemed likely to me that all interpretations would be seen as special and marginalized except for a historical white male interpretation equated to one's identity in Christ.
Unhelpfully Male-Centric
