Five Things Theologians Wish Biblical Scholars Knew by Boersma, Hans

A theologian urges biblical scholars to recover a churchly, theologically charged reading of Scripture that is guided by the rule of faith, centered on Christ, and attentive to spiritual as well as literal senses. He contends that metaphysical commitments and a sacramental ontology inevitably shape interpretation, and that doctrine and tradition should inform exegesis rather than be bracketed. The book challenges narrow historicism and calls for biblical study that serves worship, fosters spiritual formation, and coheres with the church’s great tradition.
