� Biblical Systematic theology seeks to answer
the question, “What does the whole Bible
teach us today?” on a given topic or issue.
� The word “doctrine” is what the Bible teaches
about a particular topic (e.g., Christology;
Pneumatology; Eschatology).

� ST brings to bear what the whole Bible proclaims (not
committing the analytic fallacy). The analytic fallacy is focusing
on one truth to the neglect of all other related truths.
� ST gives us explanatory power since we seek to unfold the
precepts of God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation.
� ST summarizes each doctrine as it should be understood and
applied by believers.
� ST helps protect us from wrongly interpreting a given passage
because we take into account what the whole Bible proclaims.

� ST helps protect us from wrongly interpreting a given passage because we take into account what the whole Bible proclaims.
� ST helps us discern and overcome false ideas, ask better questions, make better decisions, and qualitatively grow as Christians.
� ST becomes the foundation, the grid, or the filter of a comprehensive, and coherent biblical worldview: Your view of God, reality, truth, knowledge, humanity, ethics, and evil.

� One’s worldview: A worldview is
a habituated way of seeing and
doing; it is the sum-total of one’s
beliefs, the big picture that
directs one’s outlook (attitude),
behavior, and actions.
� Presuppositions: fixed biases that
do not change unless extreme
pressure is applied.
� Preunderstandings: moldable
influences that come and go;
they are fluid-like influences.

� Noetic Effects of Sin: The effects of
sin upon the mind.
� Profound experiences (e.g., natural

negatively and/or positively.

confusion on God’s people as a tool
to try to disrupt the Gospel and
what matters most (e.g., salt and
light; ministry of Jesus Christ
through us; seeing lives changed for
His glory.
