WHY STUDY SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY
Christian leaders are frequently called upon to explain what they believe, why they believe it, and how Christian doctrine should inform ministry, personal conduct, family life, ethical decisions, and service to others.
​
The study of Systematic Theology helps students :
​
• develop an organized understanding of Christian doctrine;
• interpret Scripture more responsibly;
• recognize the relationship among biblical teachings;
• evaluate theological claims and doctrinal controversies;
• communicate Christian truth clearly;
• respond thoughtfully to contemporary questions;
• distinguish established doctrine from personal speculation;
• integrate theological knowledge with Christian character; and apply biblical truth responsibly in ministry and service

FAITH, REASON, AND RESPONSIBLE INQUIRY
CCU encourages students to pursue biblical faithfulness together with intellectual honesty and responsible inquiry.
Faculty and students must distinguish among :
​
• what Scripture explicitly teaches;
• theological interpretation;
• historical evidence;
• established scientific evidence;
• developing research;
• philosophical assumptions;
• reasonable hypotheses; and
• personal speculation.
​
CCU welcomes responsible theological engagement with history, philosophy, psychology, sociology of religion, family studies, human development, biology, heredity, bioethics, culture, technology, and artificial intelligence.
​
This engagement does not reduce theology to science or use theology as a substitute for specialized scientific or professional competence.
