THEOLOGICAL EXEGESIS IN THE CANONICAL CONTEXT -...

Modern Christian theology has been problematic with the schism between the Bible and theology 
and between biblical studies and systematic theology. Brevard Springs Childs is one of those
biblical scholars who dismiss this «iron curtain» separating the two disciplines. Theological
Exegesis in the Canonical Context: Brevard Springs Childs's Methodology of Biblical Theology
analyzes Childs's concept of theological exegesis in the biblical canons. Childs disregards
negative influences of the historical-critical method by establishing canon-based theological
exegesis that leads into confessional biblical theology. He demonstrates forcefully the
inadequacies of the historical-critical method in practicing biblical theology. His canonical
approach establishes post-critical Christian biblical theology and works within the traditional
framework of faith seeking understanding. Childs's biblical theology has a double task:
descriptive and constructive  the former connects biblical theologywith exegesis  the latter
with dogmatics. He uses a comprehensive model that combines a thematic investigation of the
essential theological contents of the Bible with a systematic analysis of the contents of the
Christian faith. Childs's theological exegesis in the canonical context offers a new
interpretation in the modern history of Christian theology.
