In May of last year, I started a project that I have not got back around to until now. I have a strong desire to know what Scripture says about specific topics without any of the commentary that a systematic theology provides. I want to know, systematically, what I believe Scripture says about a particular subject. Last year, I focused on the topic of Scripture. Today, I have taken the time to do what I did with For Systematic Study: Scripture, and now have done it for God’s Character.
I have taken seven theology texts (primarily Systematic Theologies) and found the relevant chapters of those texts for the topic at hand and collected the list of Scripture references from each text. I have then compared the Scripture references to each other to see if I can attempt to find the most relevant passages on the topic at hand. This allows me to then consider which passages are consistently referenced by theologians that are attempting to give a systematic review of Scripture’s teachings on the subject.
The texts consulted are as follows:
- Grudem, Wayne A. Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine. Leicester, England; Grand Rapids, MI: Inter-Varsity Press; Zondervan Pub. House, 2004.
- Frame, John M. Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Christian Belief. Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2013.
- Erickson, Millard J. Christian Theology. 2nd ed. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1998.
- Enns, Paul P. The Moody Handbook of Theology. Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1989.
- Ryrie, Charles Caldwell. Basic Theology: A Popular Systematic Guide to Understanding Biblical Truth. Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1999.
- Letham, Robert. Systematic Theology. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2019.
- Lewis, Gordon R. Decide for Yourself: A Theological Workbook. Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2012.
I will present each of the text’s citations individually in a condensed format for sake of space and then provide a couple of different lists of the common Scripture references found when comparing the different texts. I will also provide a final, full list of the Scripture references. I’ve done my best to provide page references to aid in review of the context these passages were cited in since these references have not been paired down based on the context, since the context was not reviewed and will likely include passages that do not immediately tell us much of anything about the concerned topic without the context. However, because we are seeking common passages in a variety of texts, it is hopeful that these passages will be kept to a minimum.

Finally, I provide the Scripture references in the ESV translation for the 36 passages cited by Frame, Erickson, and Grudem as a good beginner’s study for the character of God. These would provide a great starting point for dwelling on who God is.
