Are You a Systematic Theologian?

That depends.

Have you ever used the phrase, “The Bible teaches…” (Jesus died to save sinners, God is a God of Love, Don’t judge people)?

If you have, then you’re a systematic theologian. Anytime we summarize all the Bible says about God, salvation, sin, etc., we’re acting as systematic theologians.

So the real questions is, “Are you a good one?”

Well?

    Me, I muddle along better than some and not as well as others.

    Your question reminds me too of an article I read where the writer talked about how some people criticize topical preaching as being inherently inferior to expository preaching (expository narrowly defined in this instance to mean taking a book of the Bible verse by verse). The writer said there’s a name for studying the Bible topically: it’s called sytematic theology and tons of seminaries the world over teach it.
