My Intro to Systematic Theology

Scriptures say, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Heb 10:31). For me, it’s also a fearful thing to accept the new challenge of teaching Systematic Theology at our church. While studying Theology Proper, I’m already trembling with fear, concern, conviction and correction. Please say a prayer for my new assignment.

These videos are not the actual church presentations. But for a season, I will make additional secondary videos for my YouTube channel.

This PowerPoint presentation is my introduction to Systematic Theology. Which includes an intro to theology, hermeneutics, exegesis vs eisegesis, dogmatic theology, polemics, apologetics, textual criticism, textual variants, sound doctrine, orthodoxy, and the importance of orthopraxy. May our Lord be glorified, and His elect be edified.

Systematic Theology is a,

“Theological reflection that investigates and aims to explain doctrines in a comprehensive, coherent, ordered and reasonable manner. Different titles abound in the genre, and the term systematic was not used until the seventeenth century. While broadly following the order of dogmatic theology—doctrine of God, Christology, soteriology, pneumatology, ecclesiology and eschatology—the structure of the presentation is often modified in relation to biblical, covenant, trinitarian and historical theology.”

To find any future presentations, they will be archived on my new Systematic Theology page (via the “sermons online” link above).
