Nate Knecht’s Reviews > Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology > Status Update

Day 4 and 5:
“In contemporary parlance religion is often construed in entirely derogatory terms. Even by Christians, religion is supposed to be the opposite of a relationship with God…We can easily give people the wrong impression about Jesus and affirm unbiblical instincts about true spirituality when we quickly dismiss religion as antithetical to the gospel and at odds with God-honoring piety.”

Day 2 and 3
“Our goal must never be the bare minimum amount of knowledge necessary to get us into heaven. We want to move from platitudes to particulars, from generalities to technical terms and concepts, from seeing the hills of God’s glory to seeing the mountains of God’s glory. That’s why we study, why we learn, and why we need systematic theology.”

“The reason we care about theology…is so we can know God more deeply, enjoy him more fully, and walk with him more obediently.”

Theology is “the science of living blessedly forever.”
