Episode 13 - General Revelation, Part 1 - Biblical Teaching

In order to show that mankind has turned away from God, we must first recognize that "they knew God".  God has revealed himself to all nations.

Reformed Systematic Theology Discussion (Episode 10) How do we do Theology? Part 1: Spiritual Dynamics

“. I. Packer says, “All theology is also spirituality.” He explains, “If our theology does not quicken the conscience and soften the heart, it actually hardens both; if it does not encourage the commitment of faith, it reinforces the detachment of unbelief; if it fails to promote humility, it inevitably feeds pride.”1 Here we see both the opportunity and danger of doing theology.

Though the question of how we do theology is often considered from the standpoint of academic methodology, we will first consider it from the perspective of spiritual dynamics. What does the discipline of theology require of you spiritually?

Reformed Systematic Theology Discussion (Episode 3) - The Premodern Development of Systematic Theology

Reformed Systematic Theology Discussion (Episode 2) - What is Theology?

“Academic education has great value, but a love for academics for their own sake can destroy your soul. Paul wrote to Timothy, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15). The calling of a theologian demands diligence and labor in order to properly interpret and apply God’s Word. However, the academic work of theology must aim at the high goal of pleasing God.” Excerpt From: Joel Beeke. “Reformed Systematic Theology.” Apple Books.
