Choose two of the following essays and write at least 200 words for each question.  In the first blank, answer your first question choice, in the next second blank answer your second question choice.Please read and answer each part of the question. Write the word count at the end of each essay (quick: count the words on three lines, take the average, multiply by the total number of lines). ***Reference relevant Scriptures as appropriate in your answers*** 1. Why do we do Systematic Theology? How does it relate to the task of exegesis (can’t we just “read our bibles”)? Explain why this matters for the Christian life. 2. Explain the entrance of sin into humanity, the significance of original sin (v. actual sins), the extent of sin, and the implications for the gospel. 3. The Bible is God’s Word to us. Describe the origination, recognition, reception, and the church’s use of the text of Scripture (Protestant v. Roman Catholic understanding).  Make specific reference to the key theological terms, and tell why they matter (consider the Webster reading). What is at stake with the doctrine of Scripture? 4. Name three ways the phrase “the Word became flesh” (John 1:14) been understood historically? How did the orthodox (at Chalcedon) suggest we understand it?  Why does it matter that we understand the two natures of Christ and their relationship to each other for the gospel/evangelism/mission?
