Theology Classes

Why Theology?

Theology comes from the two root words theos (God) and ology (study of). So, at its most basic meaning, theology is simply the study of God. This makes everyone a theologian.

Sadly, throughout much of history and in many places still today, the discipline of theology climbed to the top of ivory towers where only trained theologians were allowed to lay claim to this practice. Ridiculousness. If AW Tozer rightly observed that "what comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us," then theology belongs to the people, not just the highly trained.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about manhood, womanhood, and how the genders are to relate? Do you sometimes hear conflicting views from the church on what it takes to be a man or a woman? This class is for you. We’re going to look at different passages in the Bible and discuss what it means for men and women to flourish together in the Kingdom of God.
