Theology based on the study of the Bible as a whole
For the study of the nature, character, and authority of the Bible, see
Bibliology.
Because scholars have tended to use the term in different ways, Biblical theology has been notoriously difficult to define.[1] The academic field of biblical theology is sub-divided into Old Testament theology and New Testament theology.
