Book Description

Series: ZondervanCharts | Publication Date: August 1, 1999

Theology and biblical studies comprise a vast array of interrelated topics and disciplines. But the ways in which the different areas of study fit together may not be readily apparent to seminary students and lay persons. Taxonomic Charts of Theology and Biblical Studies makes obscure relationships clear. It systematically provides: 1. A visual tracing of all major areas of theology and biblical studies 2. A glossary/index that gives brief definitions -- By revealing the connection between such areas of study as archaeology, geography, and Old and New Testament studies, and then breaking each category down in orderly detail, Taxonomic Charts of Theology and Biblical Studies gives the student a sound understanding of the relationship, importance, and use of various, seemingly unrelated, topics.

4.0 out of 5 stars This makes learning and teaching theology easier!, October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Taxonomic Charts of Theology and Biblical Studies (Paperback)

The Charts are very useful to bring context to the study of theology, church history and biblical studies. Moreover, they help to identify the various issues and concepts for further study. I found the sections on church history and the historical development of various theological systems to be a great reference. Also, students will find the taxonmic charts helpful in organizing their studies, especially if they are visual learners as they paint "mental maps" of the subject catagories.

The definition section was and nice bonus. In further editions, the author may consider adding the various chart numbers where each definition can be found. This would be a nice enhancement to the overall volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and helpful resource., September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Taxonomic Charts of Theology and Biblical Studies (Paperback)

Dr. Sawyer has put together a wonderful book. As a pastor, I find it to be an excellent resource. It is without doubt a wonderful tool for any person who is serious about the Scriptures. It does make obscure relationships clear by anchoring theolgy and Biblical studies. The glossary of terms at the end of the book is so helpful. Every chart is complete, precise and informative. I do believe you will use this again and again in all disciplines of Biblical study.

This review is from: Taxonomic Charts of Theology and Biblical Studies (Paperback)

In the same vein as all the "charts" in this series, this volume keeps up the fine quality, ease of use, accuracy, and exceptional applicability. This is the kind of material that a student in theology, religion, or academia would find helpful; with this also being true for the seasoned pastor or instructor.
