THEOLOGY
When I hear or see the word “theology,” the first thing that comes to my mind is the science about God.
“Theo” means “God” in Greek and “logy is mostly used as a ending name in many other subjects, for
example, “sociology ,” “psychology .” This suffix comes from the Greek word “logos” that means “word,”
“reason” and “plan.” So, theology is the science that studies God, God’s laws, and God’s rules, also, God’s
relationships with people during the long history of the mankind . Being a Christian, I personally believe
that this new course is mainly about the understanding of the Christian faith and its ties to the other
different religions. Besides achieving a passing grade in this course, I hope to get deep knowledge about
God. Different studies of God, in our time, is to know that nobody has seen God, and we are taught
nobody knows what God looks like. We are also taught that God never reveals himself to people and it is
interesting to know why. I personally am interested to know more about the nature of God and have the
answers to some questions that people often ask themselves and others about God. For instance, I know
that God created the universe, the earth and everything on the earth. But who created God? People on
earth have their own thoughts and ideas about God and these ideas are quite different. Why is it so? Are
Hindu people wrong when they say that their God has more than two arms, animal faces, and light blue
skin? Many religions have different images of gods in their temples, unlike some religions who do not
accept any pictures, icons and statues at all. What religion is the true religion? “What is the truth?” (John
18:38 King James version) It is the main question, that has been asked in the history of all mankind but
unfortunately has not been answered yet.
