Theologies and Methodologies

John Frame argues in his Systematic Theology that there are different types of theologies: Biblical, Exegetical, Systematic, Historical, and Practical. Nevertheless, every theology “should be Bible-centered” (9). Further, if we are to apply the Scriptures, “we must be in constant conversation with the Bible” (9).

He notes that the reason this kind of thinking is no longer acceptable is that modern scholarship functions autonomously. The authority of the Scriptures is no longer viewed as supreme, and therefore its normativity is viewed as unrespectable.

Any form of theological enterprise must build its case from the Bible (11), whether explicitly or in principle (11). We aim to point out the obvious (12) and allow the Scriptures to speak on matters of faith and practice.
