One of the first things that strikes me about the title is the word "system". Using the word "system" with reference to religion seems strange. Of course, systems have to do with and orderly arrangement of parts that work together, so it will be interesting to read what the "parts" are and how they are "arranged".
Why does the word "System" strike you as odd? John Calvin used the term as well.

Even if Calvin used the term, I still haven't seen it used in relation to religious subjects much.
However, the idea seems to "fit". The words, "institution" and "organization" seem to connote the same idea in my mind.
