(Please note: this first installment comes with only a brief outline, but subsequent lectures will be accompanied by a more thorough set of written notes.)
3 Ways of Learning Theology:
•Biblical Theology
(sermons, Bible studies)
•Systematic Theology
(topical studies)
•Historical Theology
Historical Theology:
- Tells the story of how our beliefs were framed
- Why do we believe what we believe?
Advantages of Historical Theology:
1.) Understand differences between denominations
2.) Understand our connection with previous eras
3.) Helps us see our “blind spots”
4.) Helps us focus on what really matters
