A Theology for the Church

Guys,
You all know how much I like to read, especially theology. The sytematic theology text we assigned "A Theology for the Church" edited by Daniel Akin is one of the best I have ever read. I am going to try to give you sections that I think would be well worth your time. The whole book is worth your time but I understand the reading demands you are under right now.

Please not the introduction where the 4 fold process of systematic theology is explained. This is precisely why and how we study theology.

Since we already studied the doctrine of the Bible and revelation, please take a look at pages 50-72 in Section 1. Leading up to that point, he discusses the nature of truth which is also critically important in our society (he even gets a shot in at some of the emerging thoughts on this!)

As you read, please spend some time posting some of your thoughts and questions. Check the blog every few days. I will also be posting thoughts and questions for you guys.

Just to let you know, the past two intensives have been incredible. You all are doing a fantastic job. You are keeping up with the reading, the presentations have been incredible, and the discussions have been challenging. Keep up the good work.

Ryan

ps - you can use the blog to post about what you learn about the ministry rotations.
