SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY will make up a considerable amount of our biblical academics.
Systematic theology is the study of all facts about God and his work, from any and every source, but revealed primarily in the Bible, and brought together in a coherent and inter-related manner in order to instruct, encourage and guide the saints in godliness. There are several reasons for studying, organizing, and presenting the major teachings of Scripture. Here are two:
· For the development of one's own understanding of God, truth, and the Christian faith.
· For explaining, defending, and applying Biblical truth in a non-Christian context.

The primary categories included in our systematic theology are:
 
Bibliology: From biblos + logos. This is the study of the Bible, i.e., revelation, inspiration, preservation, canonization and illumination.
Theology Proper: From theos + logos. This is the study of the essence, being, and trinity of God.
Angelology: From angelos + logos. This is the study of angels, fallen and unfallen.
Anthropology: From anthropos + logos. This is the study of man, his creation, make-up, innocence and fall.
Hamartiology: From hamartia + logos. This is the study of sin, its nature, derivation and classifications.
Soteriology: From soterios + logos. This is the study of God's plan and work of salvation for mankind.
Ecclesiology: From ekklesia + logos. This is the study of the church, universal and local.
Eschatology: From eschatos + logos. This is the study of prophecy and last things. Dispensations may also be included.
Christology: From Christos + logos. This involves the study of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the God-Man.
Pneumatology: From pneuma + logos. This involves the study of the Person of the Holy Spirit.
