From the Webmaster

10/28/2024 If you come across a post that doesn't have a download link, please post a note to me in the comments of that post (no download), and I will try to get the file uploaded and linked to that post. We have had glitches in the past, and some posts lost their downloads. Basically, I am taking down all posts (650 posts on the site), and checking each one to see if they have their download, and if not adding it. Most do not. Once I take it down, it will repost (1 per day) until I am caught up and can work on new posts. Note that MySword reads theWord modules and esword modules now, so use them if you have them. Check these sites twmodules.com and eswordlibrary.com
If you can use these mysword modules in your Christian life and ministry, I need a big favor from you. I need you to pray for me. I sustain this website alone, out of my own living expense money. The Google Adsense ads have been adding to my income at the rate of 5 US cents per day for Google Adsense Ads on 32 of my sites, all of them combined earn me a nickel per day except on bad days when it is less. I have been hacked continually, and these sites breakdown or are hacked, so I need your prayers. Please pray that God would protect this labor of love

Fitzwater, P.B. – Christian Theology

Christian Theology

A Systematic Presentation

by P. B. Fitzwater, D. D.

Summary

This is a 69 chapter systematic theology book which has sections on Holy Scriptures, Theology Proper, Anthropology, Deontology (duties), Soteriology, Ecclesiology, and Eschatology.




Note that I did not follow his outlining through the work. It appears to me that some of his points are miss numbered. I do not think that there is material missing, just simply when he has a list of a, b, c, points under major point I., a lot of times he skips listing the a and goes directly into the text of a, and then list “b.” which causes some confusion. I did not attempt to fix this.

Evaluation by David Cox

Fitzwater was a doctrines teacher at Moody Bible Institute, so based on that I would suppose that the present work is very sound. It is very detailed so, I would consider this to be an excellent systematic theology. I would recommend this work. Continue reading →
