Summary of R. C. Sproul's What is Reformed Theology?

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The goal of systematic theology is to understand doctrine in a coherent and unified manner. It is not the goal of systematic theology to impose on the Bible a system derived from a particular philosophy. #2 Theology is systematic, and every doctrine of the faith touches on every other doctrine. Reformed theology is God-centered rather than man-centered, and it maintains a high view of the worth and dignity of human beings. #3 The most distinctive aspect of Reformed theology is its doctrine of God. Reformed theology applies the doctrine of God relentlessly to all other doctrines, making it the chief control factor in all theology. #4 Reformed theology is not only systematic but also catholic, sharing many similarities with other Christian denominations. The Reformers were not interested in creating a new religion, but in renovation. They were reformers, not revolutionaries.
