What is Theology? and do we need it?
Well we can't answer the second question without knowing the answer to the first. Simply put theology is the study of God (theos=God; ology/logos (word)).
So basically, when you study your bible and think about what you have read and how that relates to God and you - you are doing theology. Theology is not just an academic pursuit.. but for all.
Some people study more and some less..
P.s. I am not referring to different theological beliefs ie. Baptist, Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian etc etc etc, this is just about doing theology not what you think the bible says on any given topic.
