First, it offers a progress report on an edited volume in preparation, co-edited by Michael Barber, Hans Burger, and Michael Borowski. The volume brings together scholars from Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions to address a set of interrelated methodological questions: How does Biblical Studies draw on Systematic Theology? How can Systematic Theology benefit from Biblical Studies? What challenges emerge when the disciplines interact, and what models exhibit responsible integration? We will report on the current state of contributions and the projected timeline for publication. Second, the paper begins to sketch the argument that will introduce the volume. The relationship between Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology has long been marked by mutual tension as much as mutual benefit — a relationship easier to celebrate in retrospect than to navigate in practice. The historical separation of the disciplines — accelerated by the rise of historical-critical method — has generated both methodological clarity and collaborative impoverishment. The danger looms that Biblical Studies become more historical and less theological, and that theology becomes more traditional and less Biblical. Recent decades have seen renewed interest in integration, yet the methodological foundations of such integration remain undertheorized. This paper argues that responsible interdisciplinary engagement is possible only when practitioners in each discipline are willing to make their epistemological assumptions, hermeneutical commitments, and institutional pressures explicit and negotiable. Third, the session deliberately leaves room for open discussion. Responses, critical perspectives, and suggestions for additional contributions — whether in terms of topics insufficiently covered or voices not yet represented — are warmly welcomed.
