ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Systematic theology

Systematic theology is like a jigsaw puzzle. It is made up of many different pieces from the Bible and other religious writings, like from people's personal experiences. Together, these pieces come together to form a complete picture of the world, which helps us make sense of God's plan for our lives. Systematic theology tries to answer questions like: What is God like? What should our relationship with God be? What is the purpose of life? It is a way of studying and understanding the Bible in an organized way.
