There is an increasing distance between Theology and Biblical Studies, a trend that is both troubling and methodologically problematic. Recognizing this problem, St. Andrews University began the St. Andrew's Conference on Scripture and Theology and brought together leading scholars to address the issue. For their second conference, St. Andrew's chose to focus on the Epistle to the Hebrews as an intersection of 'Old Testament's cultic theology, Hellenistic ideas, and Christian thinking.' The selection proved excellent, and the result was this combined effort of Biblical Scholars and Theologians to dialogue about their differences and face the major issues separating the two fields Contributors Include Richard Bauckham, Trevor Hart, Richard B. Hayes, Bruce L. McCormack, I. Howard Marshall, John Polkinghorne, Daniel J. Treier, and John Webster.
