Theology is the study of the nature of [[God]]. 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 />
"Biblical theology seeks to discover what the biblical writers, under divine guidance, believed, described, and taught in the context of their own times". 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 />
''[[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 It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones&mdash;bad, muddled, out-of-date ideas.<br />
