All four questions are needed to understand the context and in order to apply the context you need that understanding. I think the historical background is needed so that you can see what the author was doing and feeling at that point in history, to be able to interpret the context you need the historical background and theology is definitely important as we want to know what the context is showing us in our Christian faith and lastly to be able to apply the context to today is very crucial.
