When handling the things of God, our method matters.   Everyone who thinks about God has a method for approaching the subject, whether they recognize it or not. A theological method addresses foundational questions such as: What is theology? How should we approach Scripture? What is the role of tradition, philosophy, and experience? How do we use theology in ministering to others? These questions are vital for anyone studying God and his Word-how one defines theology, sees its task, and uses its sources will shape one?s doctrine, for better or worse.   InThe Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman guides readers through the essential ?first words? of systematic theology. Written for entry-level theology students, this book provides clear guidance for using theological sources, reasoning through difficult questions, and applying theological reflection in paper writing and preaching. By studying the foundations of theology, readers will be better equipped to serve God?s people in whatever ministry they are called to.  Review?Proper theological method is essential to sound doctrine, and inThe Method of Christian Theology: A Basic Introduction Rhyne Putman shows us why and how this is the case. I heartily recommend this book for those who desire greater theological awareness and formation, and for those who want the church to know and enjoy the same.?-Jason K. Allen, president, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary   ?Simply stated, The Method of Christian Theology is a splendid book. Rhyne Putman, one of the truly outstanding young evangelical theologians of our day, has given us a masterful introduction to the task of doing theology for the church. Blending head and heart, this engaging and illuminating volume provides guidance, clarity, and insight for pastors, students, and all who are interested in the work of Christian theology. It is a genuine delight to recommend this excellent work, which should be essential reading for ministerial students and seminarians across the country.?-David S. Dockery, president, International Alliance for Christian Education, and distinguished professor of theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary   ?InThe Method of Christian Theology, Rhyne Putman has provided the church with an accessible, user-friendly introduction to one of theology?s perennial questions: what is the best way to study and articulate Christian doctrine? Rather than some dry discussion of ethereal issues, though, this book engages the heart, soul, and hands as well as the mind as Putman seeks to form Christlike theologians through their systematic handling of God?s Word. This book should be used in any classroom or church setting in which the topic of conversation centers on theological method. I cannot recommend it highly enough.?-Matthew Y. Emerson, professor of religion and dean, Hobbs College of Theology and Ministry, Oklahoma Baptist University   ?Far too often, theological method is treated as little more than the preliminary material at the beginning of a systematic theology textbook. But the ?how? of theology is closely related to the ?what? of theology-to the glory of the ?Who? of theology. Rhyne Putman has written a great introduction to theological method that understands that theologians are worshipers and that theology rightly understood is as doxological as much as it is academic.The Method of Christian Theology will be an essential resource for theology students and a challenging-but-edifying refresher for pastors and other ministry leaders. Highly recommended.?-Nathan A. Finn, provost and dean of the university faculty, North Greenville University   ?Putman provides an important introduction to a wide array of often neglected areas in theological method, highlighting the necessary academic depth and grounding, while also exploring a wide array of topics. He also identifies potential pitfalls, providing prudent advice for readers concerning va
