It is part of human nature to ask questions. Certainly, for the growing Christian, many questions come to mind: Is there any basis for the Bible being God’s revelation to us? Why does God seem to be a Judge in the Old Testament and a God of love in the New Testament? The answers to these question lie within the field of systematic theology. This topical approach to understanding Bible truths seeks to carefully look at verses in context and compare them with other relevant passages. While doing so, systematic theologians seek to keep in mind the continuity of God’s big picture of redemption. The thinking Christian will be greatly enriched by this examination of the Word of God.
