How can we teach theology?

Dad, in response to your response to my question: how, practically, can we ensure that Christians have a clear view of things like "election and reprobation" or "death and the intermediate state" (to take a couple from your 'favourites' list) unless we do it systematically? I can't think of a way of doing it well other than setting aside some time and saying, now we're going to talk about this and see what the Bible teaches us about it. So while I wouldn't say that ST is superior, I don't see how we can have clear understanding of important doctrines without it.

I'm interested by your choice of which topics are interesting to you - we'll see what happens when we get there!
