I’m putting together notes to write a book of theology. When I first felt led to do this I thought it would be a simple task since I knew what I believed and wanted to provide others with some foundational information about the bible. The more I look into it; the more I think about it; the more I pray about it; the less sure I am that I know what needs to go into this book.
I know that sometimes the subject of theology is a difficult one for the body of Christ. Some believe that we should follow our experiences with the Lord. Others think that we should simply take the bible literally. Others feel we shouldn’t be literal but include history, culture, and context.
What I’d like from everyone who feels led to share is their honest opinion. What I’d like to avoid is any kind of contention. Everyone has an opinion and often the clash of opinions causes strife and that’s not the goal here.
What I need is help from you all. If you wouldn’t mind, could you answer the following questions:
What topics would you like to see addressed in a book of theology?
How do you think a book of theology would help?
Who do you think needs a book of theology and why?
What foundational approach do you think should be adopted when writing a book of theology?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these four questions. It will help me better refine my task and hopefully help me get it written quicker.
