Traditionally Systematic Theology is structured around the articles of the Creed: the doctrine of God, the doctrine of Christ, the doctrine of the Spirit, the doctrine of the Church, and so on. Whilst this approach has its benefits it is not without flaws. One weakness is that the roots and context of theology in Christian worship can be lost sight of and discussions can become abstract and disconnected from the life of faith. But there is another way to structure Systematic Theology, an approach more explicitly and self-consciously rooted the rhythm of the pattern of liturgy followed by most Christians for most of the years of the Church's history. In The Rhythm of Doctrine, John Colwell provides a short, inspiring introduction to a Systematic Theology that is built around the worshipful rhythms of the Christian Year.
