Systematic Theology

Introduction
The following document is my thoughts on the Systematic categories of Christian Theology. It is a work in progress. It is a document on what I actually believe. How can I articulate my theology and the Scriptural support for it?

Definition
Systematic theology is a discipline of theological formation in which external categories are brought to the Scripture of the major doctrines of the Christian faith. In this document I will deal with the following categories:

• Bibliology – The study of the God’s Word
• Theology Proper – The study of God’s nature
• Angelology – The study of Angels
• Demonology – The study of demons
• Satanology – The study of Satan
• Anthropology – The study of man.
• Harmarteology – The study of Sin
• Christology – The Study of Christ
• Soteriology – The study of Salvation
• Phuematology – The study of the Holy Spirit
• Ecclesiology – The study of the church
• Eschatology – The Study of end times.

These systematic categories are dealt with in logical order. Theology Proper and Bibliology are the only two that perhaps fall out of the logic order, for we get out theology from the bible, but the bible is God’s word so what do we state with first. God’s existence or the bible is our source of theology? Perhaps we can start with Theology proper and deal with God’s existence and that he would communicate with us, and then go to the bible, then go back to God. The above categories might also be grouped into the following:

1. The Study of God’s Revelation
• Bibliology
• Theology Proper
2. The Study of God’s Creation
• Angelology
• Demonology
• Satariology
• Anthropology
3. The Study of God’s Redemption
• Harmarteology
• Christology
• Soteriology
• Pnuematology
• Eccleisology
• Eschatology

In future posts, i will be dealing with the different systematic theological categories.
