Both books made theology their main focus. The Jones introduction was directed towards the idea that anyone can be a theologian when they learn about God. He focused on the doctrine and the identity of evangelical Christians.The reading in the Stone and Duke book focused on the task of theologians and the theological perspectives. Psalm 119:1-16 was definitely related to the readings since the main focus of these verses are maintaining ones testimony pure.

Both books have many comparisons. Stone and Duke talk about the understanding of theology.I believe it says you must practice what you preach but you don't preach what you don't practice.They dive into who we are and a deeper understanding into what we believe and how.In jones book it is more of the practice i believe both books go hand and hand.

I believe that the stone and duke compare to jones because there both talk about the importance of theological and how they shared the same ideas about each other.

All of the reading for this week was about how important theology is to a good Christian faith, and how important it is to find that theology through intentional reflection. The Bible reading was about following God’s statutes and laws. So what we need to figure out is how we can come to a concrete and experiential theology that is in accordance with God’s desires.

# data[].attributes.body
They compare because in the Stone and Duke book, it discussed theological belief and understanding your faith as you mature and grow, and Jones discussed theological practices within the Doctrine.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Stone and Duke and Jones are similar in the fact that they both did into Christian theology. Stone and Duke just dive into what Christian theology is and how it became and how we use it.

Both books obviously talk about the same ideas but they each take different approaches which in my opinion I love because you get to see how different people think on the same topic. I believe that the Bible readings connect well.

Stone and Duke and the Jones books both compare in that they both emphasize a solid belief foundation and solid practices.

As Stone believes Theology is not only limited to those of cognitive acuity, so does Jones concur. In fact, many things are concurrent throughout both books’ introduction.

Jones converses about obedience begetting could doctrine, just as Pslams’ conversed about obedience helping to remain steadfast. There are other references, but here is one.

Both can be compared to being books that help us understand the theological positions and approaches Christian’s take and both correlate with the understanding of Christian beliefs. The Bible is the guide of Christian beliefs so it connects with the points the books make.

Both books urge us to decifer what our foundation is, how we view ourselves. It is important for us to be able to be reflective about our own lives while knowing what we stand upon.

The Stone and Duke book had more to do with practical views on theology and how they are implemented in our life from an early age growing up in the church, whether we are aware of it or not. The bible verse of Psalms 119:1-16 is an encouraging section of the bible but I didn't personally see much correlation.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe they correlate because the introduction in the Jones book was talking about how Josiah got the word and understood that their practices needed to be changed but this can only happen if you have sound beliefs which is what i believe the Stone & Duke is trying to help us figure out for ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jones introduction talks about Josiah immediately changing the way his people acted. The first chapter of the Stone and Duke says “Embedded theology is the implicit theology that Christians live out in their lives.” This correlates because things people practice become a daily routine but the routine that Josiah’s people were in was wrong and they needed to change. The Bible reading connects because it talks about righteous hearts and obedience to God.

I believe they both go together because in the Stone and Duke reading it was telling us how life as a Christian is in no way easy the Psalm reading tells us that it is worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
The Stone and Duke reading focused more on the importance of individuals being theologically curious despite their inner prejudices. Jones focused more on the plight of a nation and the practice of Christianity in light of a love of scripture/doctrine. The Bible reading connects directly, saying that those who love the law and study it diligently are blessed.

# data[].attributes.body
The readings are similar. They both discuss how being a Christian demands one to have a theological belief whether realized or not. This goes back to the root of how important theology is. The main theme of Psalm 119:1-16 is delighting in the laws/words/teachings of God and meditating on them day and night; this is parallel with studying theology.

In the Stone & Duke book, they dived deep into what Christianity was Theologically more than what Jones had. Jones did have theology in its introduction but it gave more of an understanding example at the beginning to describe that theology. So they are similar in one way but also different in another way based off of understanding for me. The bible readings connect very well to me based off of the Parables that in Matthew 13:1-23 and the set of commandments of Deuteronomy 6, it shows and depicts theology in Christianity very well to me.

they both compare because the stone and duke book had to do with doctrine and belief and how to understand your faith better but also how people don’t understand. and the jokes book had to do with practicing theology and understanding better. Both have key differences but cover similar topics.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that Stone and Duke and Jones had many correlations. Stone and Duke emphasized how it is not simple to live a Christian life. There are intentional actions that you must take to keep exponentially growing in faith. I liked how Jones started his introduction with Josiahs story. Jones also emphasized the importance of correlating teachings to practice.

Many of the questions raised in the Stone/Duke book have to do with not having the most sound doctrine. The ch. 1 reading has to do with doctrine and understanding what/why you believe what you believe. The Psalm connects by talking about how Christians that follow God (having a strong doctrine) will be blessed and secure in God.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that both compare because the Stone and Duke had to do with doctrine and how to understand and not understand your faith while the Jones Introduction had to do with Doctrine as well and understanding your theology and practices.
