Week 1 – Introduction

During the first week of study, we introduce the class, and discuss various types of theology and what makes systematic theology different from the rest. We also discuss the goals and purposes of the class.

Week 2 – Revelation: Word of God and Canon

During our second week, we looked at some of the various ways in which God speaks to us (e.g. general and specific revelation) as well as how we can have confidence in the collection of 66 books in the Bible.

Week 3 – Authority and Inspiration of Scripture

This week we look at the authority of God’s Word as well as the nature of inspiration.

Week 4 – Inerrancy of Scripture

Here we tie together some of the topics we’ve discussed the past few weeks and talk about the inerrancy of Scripture.

Week 5 – Clarity of Scripture

We look at the doctrine of the clarity of Scripture: what it means, and how it can be both a comfort and instructive while we study God’s Word.

Week 6 – Necessity and Sufficiency of Scripture

Today we wrap up our section on the Doctrine of the Word of God with a look into two topics: the Necessity of Scripture, and the Sufficiency of Scripture.
