The Task and Method of Systematic Theology
⬩
In this article, Warfield argues that systematic theology is the task of organizing and presenting the knowledge of God as a coherent whole. He maintains that theology is fundamentally the science of God, not merely the study of religious experience, and that its content depends on God’s self-revelation. Defending Scripture as the authoritative record of that revelation, Warfield contends that theology must faithfully reflect the truths God has made known in his works and Word, while acknowledging that the church’s understanding of those truths continues to grow over time.
