Theologia » What Is Biblical Theology? (Part Two) Copyright © 2004 Defining Biblical Theology What is Biblical Theology? Geerhardus Vos suggested that whereas Biblical Theology draws a line, Systematic Theology draws a circle. Jim Jordan provides an alternative account, distinguishing Biblical Theology from Ecclesiastical Theology. But the most important task before us is not to define what Biblical Theology is. Essentially, Biblical Theology is Story Theology. Before examining the nature of the biblical story itself, we need to examine what we mean by “story.” Every identifiable civilization in history has been held together by some overarching story (or metanarrative). Foundational stories allow us to interpret and organize our experience, both corporately and individually. The gospel (enacted in the liturgy and proclaimed in preaching) transforms our natural Adamic identity by telling us a different story about the world and ourselves. Biblical Theology requires us to learn to read the biblical narrative from within.
