Summary
There is a temptation, which has to be resisted, to throw up one’s hands in this age of over-specialization and ask with St. Paul, “Who is sufficient for these things?” Who knows the scope of the Bible and its various writings and its detailed exegesis, and its theologies well enough to write a biblical theology that does anything like justice to this vast subject? The painful truth is that no one can master the whole of the Bible, not even with many decades of close study and hard work.
