The trials of Biblical Studies is a chapter in a book called “The Trials of Theology: Becoming a ‘Proven Worker’ in a Dangerous Business.”

This chapter is written by D A Carson and in it he looks at the following five areas that students in biblical studies must address:

• Four forms of integration 
• Polar temptations re: work
• Five facets of pride
• Pressures to manipulate Scripture
• Three priorities

Andy Naselli  has written some bullet points on each heading. I particularly was interested in the comment that Andy makes that we should not separate technical and devotional Bible study.  I myself am currently studying a theology course, by distance learning, and I think I need to bear that in mind.

The whole chapter can be read online – The trials of Biblical Studies.
