Reciprocal Relationship

This reciprocal relationship may be aptly compared to literary analysis of a great epic drama. Biblical theology is concerned with the redemptive-historical plot as it actually unfolds scene by scene and over time. With an eye to that entire plot, systematic theology considers the roles of the primary actors, God and man. It highlights the constants that mark their characters as well as the dynamics of their ongoing activities and interactions.
