Chapter 2: The Word of God


Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine

by Wayne Grudem


Chapter 2 — The Word of God: What exactly is the Word of God? This chapter walks us into the foundational question of how God speaks—and how we hear. The Bible itself describes several forms of God’s Word: His eternal Son, His sovereign decrees, His personal speech to people, His prophets speaking with His authority, and finally His written Word—the Scriptures. In systematic theology, we give special attention to the written Word because it is preserved, public, examinable, and shared across generations. This chapter grounds us in why Scripture stands as God’s authoritative voice and unchanging truth for His people today
