INTRODUCTION

The STUDY of THEOLOGY
Christians believe that God desires to have fellowship
with the humans he has created. He wants us towalk closely with him. This means we need to knowhim personally and want to please him continuously.Theology is the study of that relationship betweenGod and his creatures, in every aspect of that
relationship. It seeks to understand who God is, whathe has revealed to us of himself, his purposes for hiscreation, and what he expects of us his creatures. Soby studying theology we should learn more clearlywhat to believe about God and ourselves, and theworld into which he has placed us. We should equally
learn how we should behave towards God, ourneighbours and our physical environment. Mostimportant of all we should deepen our experience ofGod as we seek to walk with him more closely eachday. Christian theology sees Christ as the goal of all
these studies, whether they take belief, behaviour orexperience as their starting point.
