Lutheran Theology:God at work in the World
Theology happens when . . .• we attempt to try to understand and articulate
who God is and what God is doing in our world.
• we wonder about God.• we make claims about God or ask questions
about God.• you are speaking about God.
Theology = “God-talk”
that ongoing activity of the whole church that aims at clarifying what ‘gospel’ must mean here and now. . . The good news is good because it challenges and displaces bad news.
(Douglas John Hall, “What is Theology?”)
