The Method of Christian Theology

A Basic Introduction

By: Rhyne Putnam

Narrated by: Nathan Girard

When handling the things of God, our method matters. Everyone who thinks about God has a method for approaching the subject, whether they recognize it or not. A theological method addresses foundational questions such as: What is theology? How should we approach Scripture? What is the role of tradition, philosophy, and experience? How do we use theology in ministering to others? These questions are vital for anyone studying God and his word - how one defines theology, sees its task, and uses its sources will shape one’s doctrine, for better or worse. In The Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides listeners through the essential “first words” of systematic theology. Written for entry-level theology students, this book provides clear guidance for using theological sources, reasoning through difficult questions, and applying theological reflection in paper writing and preaching. By studying the foundations of theology, listeners will be better equipped to serve God’s people in whatever ministry they are called to.

Tank you for your thoughtfulness on this subject.

I like that this was thorough yet basic. Easy to follow. I would recommend this for any Christian seeking to understand Gods word and how it relates to us today.
