Historical Theology: Dr. Gregg Allison (#4): Introduction to Historical Theology (ch.1)

The discussion continues on the merits and important convictions that come from historical theology to those in the present (and those to come). One might insert the role and value of Ezra doing his scholarly, historical and biblical studies in the production of 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah--that is, studies that provide ballast and encouragement to the exilic community. But, back on point. Prof. Allison is up to his seventh benefit that accumulates strength to support his wise thesis--the warrants for studying historical theology. The book is clearly written and abounds with wise counsels.
