Theology can honor the realistic intention of the biblical accounts only if it takes seriously their witness to the divine action in real events which come upon people and in part were fashioned by them, inquiring into the divine action in the reality of what we call history today.

 D.A. Carson: SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY AND BIBLICAL THEOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
To relate the nature and functions of systematic theology and biblical theology respectively proves distractingly difficult because various scholarly camps operate with highly divergent definitions of both disciplines, and therefore also entertain assumptions and adopt methods that cannot be reconciled with those of other scholarly camps.
Systematic theology seeks to rearticulate what the Bible says in self-conscious engagement with (including confrontation with) the culture; biblical theology, though it cannot escape cultural influences, aims to be first and foremost inductive and descriptive, earning its normative power by the credibility of its results.
In this sense, systematic theology tends to be a culminating discipline; biblical theology, though it is a worthy end in itself, tends to be a bridge discipline.

Systematics can benefit greatly from understanding this structure in a more careful and systematic fashion, because it is constantly utilizing the concepts and interacting with the organization which I present in these two papers.
To properly understand universality and particularity as they are found throughout biblical theology, we must more faithfully trace the pattern of the trinity (synchronically) in the systematic structure of the covenant at every stage of the history of the covenant, and (diachronically) in the way that the covenant develops progressively over time.
Covenant theology can benefit greatly from these considerations, as well; the relations of promise-law, sovereignty-responsibility, blessing-curse, and unconditionality-conditionality all follow the pattern of the relation of universality and particularity; this must be understood to understand the covenant as it is presented in scripture.

 Amazon.frĀ : Systematic Theology: Livres en anglais: Paul Tillich   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Written in the middle of the twentieth century, Tillich's theology is greatly influenced by the intellectual developments of the late nineteenth/early twentieth century philosophies, including such schools of thought as phenomenology (Husserl, Heidegger, etc.) as well as existentialism, and in particular issues such as `the death of God' philosophical/theological speculations.
Tillich's theology is also significantly influenced by (as are the intellectual developments of which he was part) larger historical events such as the first and second world wars.
Tillich introduces norms and the rational character of systematic theology - Tillich is in many ways writing for philosophers who have discounted the validity of theology in the modern world; by emphasising the aspects of reason and logic in his system, he carries more weight in that community.
