The evangelical method of theology has high urgency in responding to the challenges of the digital age characterised by relativism of truth, the crisis of biblical authority, and the changing culture of communication. Rooted in the principle of Sola Scriptura, this approach emphasises the authority of the Bible as the primary basis in shaping Christian doctrine and life. In an era influenced by postmodernism and digital technology, evangelical theology is required to remain faithful to biblical truth while developing contextualised and relevant modes of delivery. This paper examines how the method of evangelical theology can be applied through the synergy between God's Word, church tradition, and the modern context. Some of the aspects discussed include the principles of evangelical hermeneutics, the relationship between doctrine and practice, and critical dialogue with tradition and cultural context. Digital technology is seen as a strategic tool that can be used wisely for learning, proclamation, and faith formation. In addition, social media becomes a new arena in the formation of spirituality and theological discourse, despite the risk of simplification of doctrine. This method also involves understanding historical and cultural contexts to avoid distorting the meaning of biblical texts as well as facilitating deep transformation in the lives of believers.
