This handy guide will help identify systematic theologies by their doctrinal viewpoints. No such list is every totally accurate but can serve as a guide when trying to find specific information, weed collections, and otherwise help a potential church library customer. A good rule of thumb to remember is the old adage, "all labels are libel."
