Basic Concepts: Review Chapter 1 in Weaver with special attention to pp.21-24. Be sure that you understand the role of the basic sources of Christian Theology (Bible, Tradition, Reason, Experience). Reflect on theological method and what is important to you in studying Theology.
Christian Theology is based upon four main sources. Bible is the first of them. All Christians believe that God revealed himself to the humankind, and the revelation story is recorded into the collection of books called the Bible. Some Christian denominations regard the Bible as the Infallible Word of God, while others look at it critically. Tradition is another important source. Christianity is about 2,000 years old, and churches have developed their practices, other writings in addition to the Bible, and artifacts (cross, icons, etc.) that are important to Christians and considered sacred. Reason is important as well, because theology uses the academic method of inquiry. Christians believe that God granted intellect to humans. Theologians use logic to come to their conclusions. There is also a widespread opinion that religious revelation and science complement each other. Theology is one of the ways to interpret reality, but before we can interpret anything, we must first experience it. Although God may reveal something to us, we humans look at everything through our own experience. As any other academic discipline, theology uses the method of inquiry. Studying theology is important for me because it sheds light on things we know very little about otherwise.
