The Theological Disciplines

"Systematics exists to...demonstrate the inner coherence of revelation, while the exegetical and historical disciplines have the perennial task of restraining the dogmatician from building literary babels."

That's beautifully said! The quote is from John R. Stephenson, p. 282 in the volume "All Theology is Christology: essays in honor of David P. Scaer."
