What is theology and why should we study in this way? The word “theology” comes from two Greek words that combined mean “the study of God.” Christian theology is an attempt to understand God as He is revealed in the Bible. When we are studying theology, we dig into God’s Word to discover what He has revealed about Himself. We study theology to get to know God, in order that we may glorify Him through our love and obedience.
What is the difference between traditional Bible study and biblical exposition? Biblical exposition presents the meaning and intent of the scripture, providing commentary and examples to make the passage clear and understandable. The word exposition contains the word expose—the goal is to expose the meaning of the Bible, verse by verse and only then apply its meaning to our lives. In traditional Bible study the Bible passage may be used as support material for the topic. When studying in this way, the Bible passage is the topic, and support materials are used to explain and clarify it.
