The answer to the question might seem obvious to a bible-believing Christian.  Yes, theology is the Queen of the sciences.  The Bible is authoritative over every area of life, therefore the theology, which comes from the bible, is also over every area of life.  However, the question answer is not quite so simple.  Does that mean theologians can start telling scientists how to do science?

One way to understand the question is to argue that the bible is authoritative over every area of life, but theology, a scientific discipline in its own right, should not be exalted over the others.  We look at the question this way:  The bible is over everything.  The bible is the King.  Every science is equally subject to the bible and equally authoritative in its own field.  The representatives of the various sciences will have a conversation as equals.

I would disagree.  I believe, as was argued in the beginning, that theology proceeds from scripture and therefore theology functions as the queen of the sciences.  Theology is the study of foundations as revealed in scripture.  These are foundations for every area of study.  This does not mean there is no room for conversation between Theology and other disciplines. This is necessary because Theologians may get something wrong in its understanding of scripture and may be corrected through another disciple. Theology through discussing a matter with the Science of Archeology, for example, may receive a deeper understanding of scripture.

What about the problem of theologians, who think they can inform members of other disciplines how to their work? We need to make an important distinction here between the experts and the discipline itself. The discipline itself doesn’t claim to teach methodology to other disciplines.  It only claims an understanding of the significance of other disciplines. It gives answers to the deepest questions that all other disciplines must answer in order exist.  Further, like every other discipline, theology does not belong to a special group of people.  It belongs to all people. There are those who can claim greater expertise or greater knowledge in theology, but every person will have a bit of the theologian in them.  Individual persons may misuse the discipline for their own ends, arguing that their conclusions should have primacy. When theology is the queen of the sciences that does not make her courtiers (theologians), supreme lords over the other sciences.
