What is theology?

Theology comes from two Greek words: theo and logos. Theo is the Greek word for God, and logos means study, or logic. Theology literally means “God study,” or the “Study of God.”

Since we believe that the God of the Bible is the one true God, and that Jesus is the one way to God, real theology is actually the study of Christianity. Each person who has learned things about the one true God and about Jesus is in fact a theologian. If you’re a Christian, you’re a theologian. That doesn’t mean you have to have studied Calvinism, Dispensationalism, or Eschatology. What it does mean is that you have knowledge (logos) about God (theo), and God has called you to learn more about Him through His Word. Keep studying, and continually grow in your knowledge of Him.
