Biblical Theology Vs. Systematic Theology - Or Partnership?
Today, the discussion in some circles is biblical theology vs. systematic theology. However, Andreas Köstenberger & Gregory Goswell talk about how biblical theology works in tandem with systematic theology and even helps to check or correct misunderstandings in theology.
It's true, believe it or not, that Christians should respond as Christians to facts and more importantly to interpretation. This isn't explicit to Christians either. This is how everyday people view facts, opinions, news stories, politics, social commentary, jokes, etc. all through their glasses of worldview.

When attempting to popularize a theory or present the best case for it, it is advantageous to present opposing viewpoints. It is also best to present them in the best light possible and represent them accurately. That way people see the other viewpoint in the correct form and you're able to respond to them more forcefully. To claim you hold the only rational viewpoint, hide opposing views, or misrepresent them is not how scholarship or honest people should operate.

The claim of Christianity just isn't irrational is touted out as a hand wave to be easily dismissed. Most of the time, the initial interaction with Christianity is just that one doesn't like it. But think about something like string theory and explain to someone that 222 dimensions are possible. Are they scoffing because they have a point or because it's been unexamined?

The worst part of reading books about how to share the Gospel is that after you're done with it - they expect you to go out and share the Gospel with others! I did not sign up for this!

Then when you're called to debate the 4 Horsemen of Atheism as once - you'll be ready.

1+1=2 and 1+1=3. From the smallest kid to the math professor sees the two equations can't both be right. But why is it that that they both must not be and could never be correct? There's only one, consistent worldview that can account for this reason.
