What I Think of When I Hear the Word Theology
By Matthew V Corbi

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word theology is God, but not just any god. When I think of theology, the gods of the Greeks or even different religions such as Buddhism don’t come to mind, but YAHWEH, the one who said “ I AM who I AM “ (Exodus 3:14) and Jesus who is the invisible image of God and the radiance of his exact nature. The word theology comes from theos ( which means God) and logos ( which means words). One of the most beautiful verses in all of scripture that captures the meaning of theology or at least to me is “ In The beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( John 1 :1). Here again we see the Word which means logos, but when we study the scripture more closely, The Word is Jesus. The Word is Jesus (logos) and Jesus is God ( theos). I also think of the Attributes of God ( such as Immutability and Omniscience), some of the great minds of theology ( Martin Luther, John Calvin, Tim Keller, A.W. Tozer and J.I Packered) Even the branches that concern the church, end times, and even the proper interpretation of scripture come to mind.
