Introduction to Theology, vol. 2
Overview
The heart of every program at Crichton College is its major Bible and Theology. Since this major presents difficulties to students who have not had the proper background training, a proper textbook and a professor who understands the needs of beginning students are of great value. Mr. Roy Gingrich in the work on Systematic Theology has provided the needed textbook and he does understand the needs of beginning students, for he has been teaching and guiding both beginning students and more advanced students at Crichton College for around twenty-seven years.
These two volumes on Systematic Theology, coming from the Bible and from the teaching notes of Mr. Gingrich, will be of great value to Pastors, Sunday-school teachers, Bible-college students, and to all other Christians who hunger for a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Bible. This work was designed to prepare its readers for a greater in-depth study of theology but it is rather complete in itself.

Roy Gingrich was an American pastor and author best known for his comprehensive commentary series. He was born to Arthur and Arista Gingrich on February 3, 1920 in Ozark, Illinois, the youngest of four children. Roy received God’s call to enter the Christian ministry in 1941. After intensive preparation and pastoral stints in Illinois and Indiana, he became pastor of Faith Bible Church in Memphis, Tennessee, where he remained for over 40 years.
In 1963, Gingrich graduated cum laude from Victory University (formally Mid-South Bible College) and soon thereafter joined the teaching staff. Gingrich began writing conservative Bible commentaries in 1964. Roy Gingrich’s Commentaries in Outline Form (100 vols.) includes 60 different commentaries on the books of the Bible, and 40 additional commentaries on major Bible themes.
In 2001, Dr. Gingrich retired from a long and fruitful ministry, but continued to revise his commentaries and lecture at colleges and churches in the US. In 2003, he was inducted into the Crichton College Hall of Fame.
