Faithful Christians have always recognized the importance of progress in biblical history, especially as it relates to humanity's fall into sin, and to God's redemptive work. Biblical theology is a specialized discipline that studies this progress by tracing the development of theological ideas between historical epochs. Used rightly, it is a helpful tool for interpreting and applying the Bible.

Series Goals:

  • Explain the history and justification of biblical theology.
  • Describe the method and uses of biblical theology.
