A Prolegomena to Evangelical Theology

This is a defense of evangelical theology for the beginning student. It certainly is also a primer for students already familiar with theology. Contained here-in is a glimpse into the classroom of the authors. This, as closely as possible, is a text of our lectures in Prolegomena. Each chapter covers a central topic or question related to the subject. Each chapter also contains educational aids such as objectives, questions and exercises, vocabulary words, and summaries to help the student master the material. Hence, it is intended to be used with or in preparation for classroom teaching, instruction and learning.
