Have you heard about the\u00a0ESV Systematic Theology Study<\/a> Bible<\/a>? Its print version was so popular that it ran out of print when it was first published! If we could, we would have the same problem. Thankfully, that’s not possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some very well-seasoned and well-respected, theologians put together this study Bible: J.I. Packer, Michael Horton, Kelly Kapic, Michael Reeves, David Wells, and more. We have the full list of contributors<\/a> on our website if you want to check it out. But we figured you might want to take a peek inside this ultra-popular study Bible. In this blog, you’ll learn about systematic theology, how this study Bible is put together, and how it works inside our app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Theology is the study of the nature of God and religious belief. There are two popular ways to study and write about theology, though: biblical and systematic. What’s the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biblical Theology<\/em> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, Biblical theology is a ground-level approach. Scholars who write biblical theologies go verse-by-verse looking for themes and characteristics. When these findings are documented, authors spend a lot of time explaining a passage and then make theological statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Systematic Theology<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Second, systematic theology is an eagle’s-eye approach. Imagine yourself up-high, looking across the whole landscape of the Bible, discovering theological connections across the entire book. When these findings are documented, authors write extensively about one theological tenet. Then, they use several verse references as their proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ESV Systematic Theology Study Bible<\/a> applies thoughts on core, theological topics to specific passages\u2014making it a great resource for getting both a ground-level and eagle’s-eye perspective on Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY + STUDY BIBLE<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Study Bible notes fall into one of ten categories: the attributes of God, revelation, mankind, sin, Jesus Christ, salvation, the Holy Spirit, church life, the Christian life, and the end times. The information will emphasize the historic doctrines of the Christian faith, while also respecting different views on secondary issues such as baptism, spiritual gifts, and details concerning last things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CROSS REFERENCES<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In these notes, there are cross-references. These will point you to other study notes that address similar themes. Then, you can learn to see a holistic account of the Christian faith, drawn from the entirety of Scripture. Additionally, there are 28 separate articles that succinctly explain the main tenets of the faith, expanding on the content of these study notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INDEXES<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, this resource comes with two indexes. You can look through a canonical list that outlines every study note in the order it appears in the Bible. Within the app, you can simply tap on this reference and go straight to the entry. The second index is topical. If there is a theological topic you would like more information on, search through this alphabetical list. You will see the verse reference where Scripture and the study notes address this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE FOR YOURSEL<\/strong>F<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"ESV<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Titus 3:4-6 mentions all three persons of the Trinity. The ESV Systematic Theology Study Bible <\/a>notes not only explain the relationship between the three, but gave me an understanding of how they are working together. If I tap the references there on the side, the split-window immediately takes me to other entries on God’s triune nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found more information on this topic by going to the articles. There I chose the one titled “God.” Here is a lot of helpful information about God’s attributes with links to Scripture references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
