Introduction
The following pages are my best attempt at writing my very first major project. I pray that it will contain the truth of what God had me learn at the Churches of God retreat center in January of this year.
Although my notes seem extensive, its virtually impossible to literate all that was taught and shared during this class. However, Dr. Statts, I have confidence that these pages may express at least a hint of your spellbinding teachings.
Upon returning to my home church in Dover, Pennsylvania, I asked my senior pastor and my mentor, the worship pastor, for any input and / or materials they may have to help me with this final project. I was confused and surprised by the comments that they had gotten rid of their Theology materials years ago. This lends me to consider why that is. I hadnt ever measured the subject of Theology as somewhat controversial and that has led me to immerse myself even deeper into the well of knowledge.
I look forward to next year at our next meeting and teachings of the Theology 2 class.
God bless you and your wife.

What is Theology?
The term theology comes from two Greek words: theos, “God,” and logos, “Word,” and then compounded means, the study of God.
Theology can be used to cover the study of part of Scripture or of the whole.
Depending on the point of approach of the one studying theology, it can appear to have a very broad definition.
Lets look at the different forms of theology discussed in class:
Systematic Theology –
This is a methodical study of God and who He is, the proofs of His existence, and His relationship to the world and man.
Systematic Theology gathers materials from the Bible, the facts of science, psychology, history, and philosophy. It examines, evaluates, and organizes all in the light of the Bible. It utilizes di-chronic and synchronic methods to organize the works of God.
Historical Theology –
In seeking out resources for a clear definition of this term, Im finding that its one of the more difficult terms to define. I surmise from the research that Historical Theology, as with these other theological terms, are intertwined with each other. However, to me, it means taking the historical data of the Bible and applying it to todays society.
