The Mystery of Theology

Wednesday, January 25, 2006

Came across this quote in a book that I just finished reading, "Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport"

"British monk, Thomas Weinandy says we should not think of theology primarily as a problem-solving activity. Rather, it is best understood as "a mystery-discerning enterprise." When we solve a problem all of our puzzles disappear, and this is not what we should normally expect in theological exploration. The most we can usually hope for when we think carefully about a theological topic, is to see "more precisely and clearly what the mystery is.""

I think this has truth in it. I remember that going through my seminary career didn't make me more confident that I had all my questions answered,but rather it only generated more questions.

This blog entry by Guy Kawasaki is interesting, because in it, he talks about how the marketplace and businessess are using the term "evangelist".
