INTRODUCTION: 3 WHY THEOLOGY?
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

6. It would appear that God has made man’s mind so that it cannot rest until it has harmonized and systematized the facts of knowledge. One may object that he doesn’t need Theology, that he has a thorough knowledge of the Bible, that he has read it through many times and has tried to discover all it has to say about God, man, sin, and salvation, but without being aware of the fact, this man has been engaged all along in formulating a Theology. Strong quotes Richie: “Just those persons who disclaim metaphysics are sometimes most apt to be infected with the disease they profess to abhor - and not know when they have it.’’ ¹
