Module 1 - Prologomena: The Doctrine of First Principles

The first two lectures of this course provide an introduction to the whole of all seven modules. The remainder of this first module is devoted to the first of the seven sections of systematic theology—what we call “the doctrine of first principles,” which covers the first doctrinal truths that are necessary for studying theology. We’ll begin to take up the doctrine of first principles in our third lecture and in the remaining lectures of this course.

There is nothing more valuable in the entire world than the Bible. And no one considers it more precious than God Himself. After all, it is His own Word. He graciously gave the Scriptures to instruct and to spiritually enrich men, leading His people to salvation and edification. But it was not only intended for those who first received the Scriptures. Remember what Jesus said in John 17:20. God intended for His Word to be passed down from generation to generation, century after century, and He also intended for it to be taken to every tribe and country all around the world.
