After reading my first Systematic Theology, in the form of Concise Reformed Dogmatics by J. van Genderen and W.H. Velema, I have become enthused about the study and in wanting to learn more, but still sticking with a dutchman, I am currently reading Cornelius Van Til’s An Introduction to Systematic Theology, which is more than a mere introduction, as in addition to Prologemena, Van Til also coveres the doctrines of Revelation, Scripture, and even dabbles into Theology Proper, that is, the doctrine of God. The first chapter of the book is titled The Idea and Value of Systematic Theology and the insight it holds is wonderful and enlightening. In a rare move on my part, I read the relatively short chapter three times in my first day of reading so that it may get stuck in my mind. And to further implant the teaching into my way of thinking, I think it would be best to put it in writing and share with any readers that may come across.
