In a Christian context, theology is the attempt to know God more fully by gaining a rational understanding of God's [[revelation]] (chiefly found in the [[Bible]]).<br /> <br /> ===Classification===<br /> <br /> Theology is sometimes classified or divided in a number of ways.<br /> <br /> ====[[Practical theology]]====<br /> <br /> Practical theology seeks to find pastoral applications of biblical truths for the [[Church]] and the modern day person.<br /> <br /> ====[[Systematic theology]]====<br /> <br /> Systematic Theology deals with organizing what the entire Bible says about a particular area of theology. For example, when one is studying biblical theology he may study what faith means in [[Galatians]], the [[New Testament]], or even what it meant to [[Augustine]]. However, in systematic theology one would seek to understand what the entire Bible (often including general revelation) teaches about [[faith]] or any other area of theology.<br /> <br /> ====[[Historical theology]]====<br /> <br /> Historical theology intergrates the thoughts of other Christians throughout the centuries since the times of the Bible.<br /> <br /> ====[[Biblical theology]]====<br /> <br /> &quot;Biblical theology seeks to discover what the biblical writers, under divine guidance, believed, described, and taught in the context of their own times&quot;. It is based first and foremost on the [[Bible]] itself. Biblical theology assumes that the canon was provided by the [[Holy Spirit]] through the instrumentality of human authors.<br /> <br /> ===Concepts===<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> <br /> ''[[C.S. Lewis]] in [[Mere Christianity (book)|Mere Christianity]]''<br /> : Everyone reads, everyone hears things discussed. Consequently, if you do not listen to [[Theology]], that will not mean that you have no ideas about [[God]]. It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones&amp;mdash;bad, muddled, out-of-date ideas.<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology Wikipedia - Theology]<br /> * [http://www.teamtruth.com/articles/articlesbycategory.htm#SYSTEMATICTHEOLOGYOUTLINES Systematic Theology Outlines- TEAM Ministry]<br /> {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -&gt; [[Christian doctrine and debates]]<br /> [[Category:Christian doctrine and debates]]</div> 96.233.47.66
