Theology EXPOSED

Biblical theology did not begin with Augustine. It didn't end with the Westminster Confession. It isn't about your denomination's preferences. It's about grasping what the biblical text gives you and letting it speak for itself, no matter what. Doing biblical theology requires being honest about the presuppositions you bring to the text, discerning the interpretive options the text can sustain, weighing the alternatives for coherence, and having a low view of your own omniscience.

Who is this Lunatic?

I'm a scholar with an earned PhD in biblical studies, but don't let that bend you to my will too easily, or make you hit the "Back" button too quickly. I'm also a Christian who has a painfully clear vision of the Church's Gadarene rush away from biblical theology and the time spent in the text that it requires. The problem has many causes: the aloofness of the Christian academy; the worldliness of Christians; the exegetical ineptitude in too many pulpits; and the propensity of denominations to define the faith in terms of their own subculture. My goal is to bridge the gap between the grunt work of the scholar to biblical theology to the person in the pew who desperately wants to be fed--but only from the Bible.
