Systematic Theology

Course Description

This course on Systematic Theology is presented in seven main heads of doctrine. Each module provides ten lectures on these doctrinal pillars of the Scriptures. The entire course is comprised of seventy lectures. Systematic Theology is the attempt to organize all the Christian doctrines in a logical order. The Christian church has been practicing this type of theology since the very early stages of the Church, although, the form in which we see it today, developed in the Middle Ages.

Systematic Theology distinguishes itself from Biblical Theology. Systematic Theology, gathers together all of what Scripture teaches on a given topic and makes a claim based on those truths.
