The What and Why of Theology

What is theology? Why do we do theology? What does it mean that every Christian is a theologian?

“Theology is the discipline of learning from Word of God and learning to use words faithfully when we speak about God.” ~ Beth Felker Jones

A significant part of the vision for the Women and Theology Research Database is to explore the questions:

What if we included women’s theological work precisely because of how mainstream and ordinary it is?

What if we included the writings of women, not because of peculiarity or controversy, but because they represent key interpretive ideas?


In light of those questions, I'm exploring the "what and "why" of theology. Come join me as I explore the nature and task of theology in this week’s episode of Theology with Dr. AM Hackney.
