An Introduction to Systematic Theology: Prolegomena and the Doctrines of Revelation, Scripture, and God

Cornelius Van Til's introduction to systematic theology opens with prolegomena, a discussion of the presuppositions and method that should govern theological reasoning. He argues that Christian theology must begin from the self-attesting authority of God and Scripture rather than from neutral human reason, and he contrasts this with approaches he believes rest on autonomous assumptions. The book then turns to the doctrines of revelation and Scripture, and to the doctrine of God, treating each in relation to the foundational claims set out at the start.
