Scientists get disciplines. Athletes get disciplines. Well - theologians get disciplines too.

Today, we're exploring these 5 fascinating areas of theological research/expertise.

  1. Exegesis
  2. Biblical Theology
  3. Historical Theology
  4. Systematic Theology
  5. Practical Theology

This episode cannot only introduce you to these super interesting areas of theological study, it can also give you a glimpse into what professional theologians actually spend all their time doing - AND it can give you a roadmap for your own theological study.

Here is an essay from Andy Naselli that is more simplified than the one mentioned in the episode: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/essay/theological-method/

And here is a link to the fuller, more complicated essay: https://andynaselli.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-D-A-Carsons-Theological-Method.pdf

Enjoy!
