A New Systematic
One of the problems with traditional systematic theologies was that they were constrained by the structure of the book. One topic followed the next chapter and the author had to make decisions about where to put what topics even though various topics were interrelated in numerous ways. Where do I put the doctrine of providence or the decrees? Does prolegomena go first even though it already presupposes things about the doctrine of God or revelation? Thanks to the computer and the internet maybe there can be a systematic theology in which all the topics are interconnected through links. It also provides a systematic that challenges the notion that it is a complete or closed system, by providing the possibility for revision and addition. Its just a thought.
