What This Work Is
Christ Rooted DIT is not a blog, a devotional site, or a collection of disconnected articles. It is a structured theological work designed to be read as a book.
The project is organized by disciplines, each unfolding from a shared biblical anthropology rooted in Genesis 2:7. Rather than beginning with inherited doctrinal systems, it begins with the biblical definition of a human being and allows theology to emerge from that foundation.
Each section builds deliberately. Concepts introduced in earlier disciplines are assumed, not repeated. Readers are therefore encouraged to read sequentially rather than selectively.
What This Work Is Not
This project is not an attempt to modernize theology, rebrand Christianity, or harmonize competing traditions.
It is not written from a confessional framework, nor does it attempt to defend inherited categories simply because they are familiar.
The aim is not novelty, but clarity. Where traditional language is retained, it is used intentionally. Where it is set aside, it is because the biblical text itself requires greater precision.
Method and Commitments
The project operates from a small number of methodological commitments:
• Scripture defines its own categories before theology systematizes them
• Biblical anthropology precedes christology and soteriology
• Ontology must be addressed explicitly, not assumed
• Later doctrinal language must never override earlier biblical definitions
The work therefore proceeds step-by-step, tracing how identity, life, death, sin, and salvation are defined within the text itself before theological conclusions are drawn.
Why This Project Exists
Many contemporary theological disagreements persist not because Scripture is unclear, but because unexamined assumptions about human nature are carried into the text.
When anthropology is distorted, every doctrine downstream is affected.
This project exists to address that root issue directly. By restoring a biblical understanding of the human being, the project seeks to clarify long-standing debates surrounding divine identity, incarnation, sin, salvation, and resurrection without resorting to speculative metaphysics or post-biblical frameworks.
How to Read This Work
Readers new to the project are encouraged to begin with the Start Here section, then proceed through the disciplines in order.
Individual articles assume familiarity with earlier material. While each article can be read on its own, the full coherence of the work emerges only through sequential reading.
This structure reflects the conviction that theology is not a set of isolated answers, but an integrated account of life, identity, and purpose grounded in Scripture.
Authorship
Christ Rooted DIT is written by Igor Pogoda as an ongoing theological work. The project represents a sustained attempt to think faithfully, carefully, and publicly about the biblical text and its implications.
The emphasis throughout is not personal authority, but accountability to Scripture and clarity of reasoning.
