In both good science and good theology there is continual struggle to find an appropriate balance between the concrete and the abstract. For example consider the following tensions and contrasts in theology:
systematic theology vs. Biblical studies
Christology vs. the Gospel narratives
John's Gospel vs. the Synoptic Gospels
Romans vs. the Gospel of Mark
ethical principles vs. explicit commands
Greek thought vs. Hebrew thought
I welcome concrete thoughts on some abstract principles one might use to find a balance!
