Why Study Theology: Some help from a Dutch Theologian


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about navigating todays world theologically, with some help from Herman Bavinck and Dr. Cam Clausing. 

Here's our premise -- everyone has a theology. 

Being made in the image of God means that we were made to run off of revelation -- we simply can't operate without a theology. And the hard thing that we often find as we walk with Jesus is that we have our stated theological beliefs and our actual theological beliefs. That is, we may say that we believe God is sovereign over all of life, but then we worry and fret. Or, we may say that we believe in the doctrine of total depravity -- that every human being is corrupt in every part of our being, but then we get surprise when people actually act like sinners and wrong us.

And since we all have a theology, we are all theologians. The question for everyone is always two-fold -- does your theology match God's revelation? And do you live in light of it?

So today, we have a special guest. Cam Clausing. Cam is the Lecturer in Applied Theology at Christ College in Sydney, Australia. Cam earned his PhD from the University in Edinburgh on the Dutch Theologian Herman Bavinck.
