What relation exist between the exegetic theology and the biblical theology?

All of the biblical theology is of the systematic theology nature; all systematic theology is biblical in
contents and as much as the biblical theology like the systematic theology are exegetical in the
interpretive process, in consequence, it is not a question of which is the best approach to theology,
but rather how the three are interrelated.

Benefits and limitations of the systematic theology:

Benefits:

1. Recopilation biblically the biblical truth

2. Efectua una sintesis y un resumen ordenado de la doctrina bíblica
3. Se constituye en imperativa para llevar el evangelio a los confines de la tierra
4. Se constituye en un repositorio de la verdad para la enseñanza expositiva
5. Ofrece una base bíblica para la conducta cristiana en la iglesia, el hogar y el mundo
6. Ofrece una defensa de la doctrina bíblica contra la falsa enseñanza
7. Ofrece una respuesta bíblica a la negligencia social y ética en el mundo

Limitations:

1. Silencio de la biblia sobre un asunto en particular

2. El conocimiento parcial como teologo de toda la biblia (Lucas 24:25 – 27, 32)
3. Lo inadecuado del lenguaje humano (1 Cor. 2:13 – 14)
4. La finitud de la mente humana (Job 11:7 – 12, 38:1 – 39)
5. La falta de discernimiento espiritual (1 Cor 3:1 – 3)

Process of Revelation (different from the mechanism of Revelation)

1. La revelation es un proceso universal que se da en todos los pueblos. Todos los pueblos son
humanos y pertenece al ser humano la necesidad de dotarse de un sentido religioso tanto
individual como comunitariamente
 2. En este sentido Dios crea primero el espacio luego los ambientes y posteriormente seres
que vivan en esos ambientes
3. Dios tiene su propio espacio increado, es el espacio en el que se mueve la deidad distinta al
espacio de las criaturas

Dentro de esa condescendencia esta el lenguaje, Dios se rebaja para comunicarse con sus criaturas

El lenguaje superior se baja al lenguaje inferior. Caso padre niño

Dios-ángeles-criaturas universo-hombre

En el lenguaje con el cual Dios se comunica
