By C.L. Bolt
Like in my previous series, An Informal Introduction to Covenantal Apologetics, I do not intend to write an exhaustive account of the subject matter involved in systematic theology. However, it has come to my attention, and I have suspected for some time, that a brief overview of systematic theology may be of some benefit to the readers especially as they study and use apologetics.

Ben the Agnostic…uh…Atheist…uh…Whatever Means I Don't Have Anything to Prove!
There is a somewhat humorous exchange between Ben and Paul here. I have posted it below. As you can see, Ben has resorted to just sticking his head in the sand with respect to the problem. Ben is aware of the difficulties with defending an atheist position and I think uncomfortable that his agnosticism is likewise untenable. Note again two of his statements from my debate with him and tell me if he has a clue what his position even is.
“I’m an agnostic, in particular, of the negative atheist variety, by which I mean that I
