Highlights in Historical Theology
One of the most important weapons in the Christian arsenal is understanding why the Christian believes what he believers in the Bible, and if what he believes is the same as what others have believed before him.  Historical Theology, then, is an essential tool in the sanctification of the Christian.

Highlights in Historical Theology MP3 CD

In thinking about Church History, we find it is of vital importance to historical theology since it gives theology a context in which it was produced and defined.  Systematic Theology attempts to create statement of faith with the leading doctrines of the Christian Bible.  Historical Theology then embodies both of these concepts as a way of informing theologians as to what has been believed, and what corrections, improvements or adherence need to be made in the present based on that information.  Historical Theology was first prominent during the Reformation and the need to go back to the original sources of the Bible (ad fontes).    Historical Theology, then, is used both as a pedagogic tool (for systematic theology) and as a critical tool (highlighting various important topics through history as key elements of the Christian faith). Approx 6 hours
