The resources included in the Systematic Theology Collection works in conjunction with the Systematic Theology Cross-References Dataset to bring these resources to the Passage Guide. Study a passage, and the Systematic Theologies section reports where your systematic theologies refer to the verse, and further organizes them by denomination and category of systematic study. Whether the verse is used in section reporting soteriological beliefs or in the prolegomena, you’ll see before digging in. And with so many systematic theologies for Logos to search through, you’ll never miss a verses’ use in theological proof in any denomination.

Mercersburg understood baptism as initiating a person…
