The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Biblical Theology vs Systematic Theology

Will someone please explain the differences between the two. What confuses me is the term Biblical Theology, is it a misnomer. <br><br>For instance, I believe that the WCF (Westminister Confession of Faith) is a system of doctrine that best explains the Bible; therefore is called systematic (theology), but even the WCF subjects itself to the infallibility of Scripture. So, when I hear the term, Biblical Theology, I immediately view it as being the standard. However, when I read discussions over the two ways (don't really know the correct term), I side with the Systematic Theology point in the debate. Am I really disagreeing with Scripture? If the answer is no, then whoever coins these terms, should choose a more descriptive term. <br><br>(I went 5 pages deep to see if the topic has been discussed before; it is not in any of the headings) <br><br>John Chaney <br><br>
