Building Biblical Theology

Instructor: Richard L. Pratt, Jr.
Lessons: 4
Forums: 4
Discipline: Theology
Course Group: Introduction to Theological Studies

Faithful Christians have always recognized the importance of progress in biblical history, especially as it relates to humanity's fall into sin and to God's redemptive work. Biblical theology is a specialized discipline that studies this progress by tracing the development of theological ideas between historical epochs. Used rightly, this is a helpful tool for interpreting and applying the Bible.

Course Goals:

  • Explain the history and justification of biblical theology.
  • Describe the method and uses of biblical theology.
