Note: And building on yesterday’s post about theology, it’s not just ‘Everyone a Minister’! (ISBN 13: 9780570031840) And it never was.

Part of being a priesthood of all believers is that we all are (need to be) theologians. At least to some extent. Certainly some more and some less, depending on our spiritual gifts, but all as we are able.

Quote:
“This is the work of theology: to comprehend the mystery of the Christian faith. And every Christian is called to be a theologian, that is, to endeavor to penetrate God’s mystery. For this reason, without theology we cannot do lectio divina well.”

One thought on “theologians all”

  1. Kurt,

    My late dad held classes at several of his congregations on the book Strong’s Systematic Theology, so that the members would be ready to answer questions about their faith.

    Take care & stay warm! Mary ________________________________
