In this volume, Joseph Beet takes the reader behind the scenes into his "workshop" to show the reader how he put together the content for A Manual of Theology, hoping that others can use it as a guide for their own sermons and writings. Like any science, he emphasizes that theology requires heavy research, but unlike "natural science," theology also requires deep introspection. Chapters include:
- The Necessity and Aim of Theology
- The Universe, Man, and God
- Many Religions: One Supreme Teacher
- The Christian Documents
- Preliminary Analysis of Documents
- The Words of the Bible
- Inflections and Particles
- The Line of Thought, Argument, Quotations
- Metaphor, Parable, Prophecy
- Constructive Theology
- The Eternal Realities
- The Christian Tradition
- Review and Suggestions
