EDITORIAL: THEOLOGY AND THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH

Abstract

Theology is the study of the nature of God and the relationship of the human and divine. It is an instrument for mission and evangelization. The ultimate goal of theology is not knowledge, but worship and salvation. If one’s learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, one has failed. Because theology will deepen one’s knowledge of the Christian faith and apply it to real-world situations, the theologian should be disposed and get prepared to follow a more Christ-centered path that will help him/her grow trust in God and his plan.
