Traditionally systematic theology is structured around the Creed?'s articles. While this approach has its benefits it is not without flaws. One weakness is that the roots of theology in Christian worship can be lost sight of and discussions become abstract. But there is another way to structure systematic theology, an approach explicitly rooted in the rhythm of the pattern of liturgy.John Colwell provides a short, inspiring introduction to a systematic theology that is built around the worshipful rhythms of the Christian Year. Chapters include the one who comes (Advent); the One who takes our humanity (Christmas); the one who is revealed (Epiphany); the one who journeys to the cross (Lent); the one who lives and reigns (Easter); the one who indwells and transforms (Pentecost); and the one who invites us into communion ('All Saints Day'). In this ancient-future way Christian worship, theology and discipleship are woven into a seamless garment.
Traditionally, Systematic Theology has been structured around the articles of the Creed: the doctrine of God, the doctrine of Christ, the doctrine of the Spirit, the doctrine of the Church, and so on. Whilst this approach has its benefits it is not without flaws. One weakness is that the roots and context of theology in Christian worship can be lost sight of and discussions can become abstract and disconnected from the life of faith. But there is another way to structure Systematic Theology, an approach more explicitly and self-consciously rooted the pattern of liturgy followed by most Christians for most of the Church's history.
