What is theology? How is theology different from doctrine? And what does the Bible have to do with theology?
In Systematic Theology: Biblical and Historical, Robert Duncan Culver draws from the resources of reason, tradition, experience, and—most importantly—the Bible to construct a comprehensive systematic theology. He aims to provide a logical structure of doctrine whereby the truths of revelation can be refined and related to one another. In particular, Culver devotes lengthy chapters to discussions of the doctrine of God, the doctrine of creation, the doctrine of sin, the doctrine of Christ, the doctrine of salvation, the doctrine of the Church, and the doctrine of the Last Things—and shows how each of these doctrines manifests itself in authentic Christianity.
Although Culver assumes his readers possess little previous knowledge of theology, a serious intention to learn is required. Students in seminary and Bible colleges will find this edition of Culver’s Systematic Theology particularly valuable, and pastors and laypersons with an interest in theology will especially benefit from Culver’s work.
