In this episode, Caleb discusses the importance of systematic theology
for the life of the church and the people of God with Todd Miles (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) Professor of Theology at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. Together Caleb and Todd answer questions like, what is systematic theology and why should the average Christian care to study it? How does it relate to other theological disciplines? What are its historical roots and why was/is it necessary? How do we apply Christian doctrine to life? How can churches better teach theology from the pulpit, in their classes, or small groups? And more.
