Who Needs Theology: An Invitation to the Study of God

Abstract

Many Christians today not only are uninformed about basic theology but even seem hostile to it. What has brought about this appalling lack of interest and frequently open hostility to theology among Christian laypeople, students and even pastors? We are confident that this condition does not result from any in- herent flaw in theology itself or in the intellectual or spiritual lives of ordinary Christians. Rather, it results from popular and pervasive misunderstandings of theology.
