Gruden Ch 1 &
Authority of Scripture
I was praying before I opened Systematic Theology to read,
and my prayer was really quite simple, “Lord, help my pursuit of knowledge be
only to know you more deeply and personally”.
I was encouraged as I began to read that this was the heart of Wayne Grudem
as well. I am new to the study of
systematic theology, so I just came humbly to absorb all that was being said in
the chapter. The definition really helped me to grasp what it means when he
states, “It’s any study that answers the question, What does the whole Bible
teach us today about any given topic.” What excites me the most about the
definition of systematic theology is the word “today”, and how this study is
going to help us apply the whole Bible to our life now. I’m also excited to learn, so that I can
communicate and teach others with sound doctrine. I feel called to be a Bible teacher, and I
want to be equipped so that I can do so soundly, and biblically.
