Is biblical theology enough?

Why must we not just think of God in terms of what he does in history but also who he is in himself? What are negative consequences to limiting ourselves to the history of redemption rather than also drawing theological conclusions about who God is in eternity? What is the relationship between biblical and systematic theology? How should systematic theology influence our approach to the biblical text in preaching? What role should systematic theology play in the life of a seminary or seminary student?

In this episode of the Credo podcast Matthew Barrett talks with Carl Trueman about why biblical theology is not enough.
