Intro to Systematic Theology

Here is a lecture from Biblical Training.org given by Bruce Ware. Part 2 follows next Saturday. There is some good balanced stuff in here giving reasons why systematic theology is valuable to our understanding of God. I especially appreciate this because many in the Emergent movement have framed systematic theology as "unnecessary", as a throw back from "modernism" and as epistemologically presumptuous. I think Ware has some good answers for such views, but without being overly polemical about it.
