Five Things Biblical Scholars Wish Theologians Knew

Written by Scot McKnight and Hans Boersma

Narrated by William Sarris

The disciplines of biblical studies and theology 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.

New Testament scholar Scot McKnight here highlights five things he wishes theologians knew about biblical studies. In a companion volume, theologian Hans Boersma reflects on five things he wishes biblical scholars knew about theology.

With an irenic spirit as well as honesty about differences that remain, McKnight and Boersma seek to foster understanding between their disciplines through these books so they might once again collaborate with one another.

Reviews for Five Things Biblical Scholars Wish Theologians Knew

[John Teal · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I like everything that Scot McKnight has written - so far! This one was a more difficult read. I have a degree in biblical studies, and I read a lot of books in this genre. However, this book majorly stretched my biblical and theological education. Which is a good thing. I suppose I will need to read it again to get the most out of it! Thank you, Scot, for all of your work! You are a blessing!
