    I liked the following article:
    Kinds of Biblical Theology
    May 25, 2012 By Vern Poythress Kinds of Biblical Theology by Vern Sheridan Poythress [Originally published in the Westminster Theological Journal 70/1 (2008) 129-42. Used with permission.] In 1976 Dr. Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., published a programmatic article on “Systematic Theology and Biblical Theol…

      It's funny that the email that Faithlife sent out included a picture of John Frame instead of the article's author Vern Poythress. Great article, nonetheless.

    use of Latin bible
    This is a gross overstatement of what the cited source actually says: "In medieval England, Latin was the language of literate people. Direct access to the Bible was restricted in practice to the clergy and monastic orders, and their Bible was the Latin Vulgate."

      closed canon
      strange that the authors don't go back to the criteria for canonicity they discussed earlier.

          God bless you all: Could there be a Biblical and systematic theology at the same time? what are your thoughts on this? Blessings.

            God bless: Very good Dan, now that you mention it, do you know of any resource that lists key Bible thrusts found by exegesis? I am a firm believer of "standing on the shoulder of giants" to facilitate further research of key themes. Blessings.

            The typical categories of systematic theologies are: Revelation (Bibliology) God the Father (theology proper) God the Son (Christology) God the Spirit (pneumatology) Angels (angelology) Man (anthropology) Sin (harmartiology) Salvation (Soteriology) Church (Ecclesiology) Israel (Israelology) Last Things (Eschatology) To my knowledge most modern ST use these categories. They are useful but, as I said able, let the text you are studying identify what it is concerned with.

            God bless: Yes Dan, I am aware, but where do the following fit? modes of revelation (Bible is not the only one) Christian Orthopraxis Moral theology (christian ethics) spiritual warfare Kingdom of God Election manufactured / false believers Spiritual abuse (church) collective good deeds radical moral transformation Means of grace holiness types of Faith, (and possible measures of it) culture (worldview, purpose, goals, customs, etc.) grace (types) rapture christian stewardship christian development discipleship spiritual formation evaluation and development of doctrine apostasy Law of Christ etc. There must be a better loci where things neatly, coherently, fall, so that it is "user friendly". I liked Scobie's, but still needs refinement: [Prolegomena] [God] God's order God's servant God's people God's ways Blessings.
