Cheung, Vincent – Systematic Theology

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY

by Vincent Cheung






Preface to 2003 Edition

The most important task a Christian can perform at any stage of his spiritual development is to study systematic theology. This may sound extreme to the anti-intellectual mindset of popular Christianity, but it is a necessary conclusion derived from the nature of theology. Theological study possesses intrinsic value, and it is the precondition of every Christian concept and activity. For example, it is the intellectual enterprise of theology that governs the object and mode of prayer, defines the reason and manner of worship, and formulates the message and strategy for evangelism.

I consider this book an adequate text for the beginning reader. Perhaps some will even find it challenging. But being an introduction, it cannot include everything important to a comprehensive understanding of theology. And since its primary purpose is to provide a positive construction or statement of biblical doctrines, the emphasis is not on polemics. The reader should pursue my other writings for more detailed discussions on the topics mentioned in the following chapters.

This book emphasizes the interrelatedness of biblical doctrines, and arranges them in a logical progression from the epistemological precondition of a worldview to the preservation of the believer. The three central motifs of this book are the infallibility of Scripture, the sovereignty of God, and the centrality of the mind. Some of my other works offer additional explanation and defense of these biblical pillars of the Christian system. Especially relevant is my book, Ultimate Questions, which serves well as a companion text to Systematic Theology by giving biblical answers to the questions of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and soteriology. Whereas Systematic Theology is an outline of Christian theology, Ultimate Questions is an outline of Christian philosophy and apologetics.

Note that I am reworking the entire website. Sorry for the inconvenience. As I find modules that are not in the zips, I will add them to the download page instead of adding them to the zip. So please check back from time to time even though you have already downloaded a particular zip pack because there may be some additions at the bottom of the page. --D.C.

Oldies but Goodies
I am going to go back into my archives and renew some old posts (single modules) that will expire after a few days. Putting all 2000 that were live (4000 actually counting the ones waiting to be posted also) that are in the archives as live seems to bring the site down. So I will see how this works. Take note that these posts will be live for 7 days and then will be deleted, so if you visit this site regularly, you will see them, but get them while they are up. (And remember to visit the site various times during each week.)

I am working for you, so please donate something (any amount) for my labors: Paypal paypal.com/paypalme/davidcoxmex/
