Systematic theology includes as integral parts or aspects of itself:
(1)
dogmatic theology; and
(2)
moral theology.
The first, dogmatic theology, concerns itself with the properly metaphysical implications of Christian faith and witness, and thus with credenda = things that are to be believed, given the self-understanding of Christian faith.
The second, moral theology, concenis itself with the proper!y moral implications of Christian faith and witness, and thus with agenda = things that are to be done, given the self-understanding of Christian faith.
