An Attempt

We had to share what we wrote during the tutorial.

Here's my take on the definition of theology as of July 2006.

1. “Theology is …”

Theology is the philosophized, verbalized and/or written form of the human study of the Divine, which illustrates one’s view of God, self, others; and as a result, directs one’s interaction with God, self and others.

2. “Theology is not …”

Theology is not infallible – by virtue of the fact that it is an encapsulation of human thought about the divine.

My lecturer expects our initial definition to change by the end of the course. Let's see what happens by October.
