## Resource

Should Christians prefer systematic theology or biblical theology? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explains why the church needs both. Systematic theology gathers everything Scripture teaches on a doctrine and organizes it clearly, while biblical theology traces how God unfolds those doctrines through redemptive history. Using examples from covenant theology, Christology, David, Adam, Goliath, and the greater Son of David, George shows how biblical theology helps us see the shadows that point forward to Christ without abandoning the doctrinal clarity of systematic theology. This episode calls Christians to recover the beautiful tapestry of Scripture by learning to read both the whole and the parts together.
