Theology Survey (1): Introduction

In recent weeks kind, thoughtful friends have given their responses to a survey about their thoughts and opinions of theology.

Here are a few of the questions:

• Is there a positive or negative connotation associated with theology?
• What is the use of theology in your day-to-day life?
• Is the fact that there are different denominations in the church a good thing or a bad thing?
• What are the cases in which it is ok for theology to cause division among Christians?
• Should Christian theology be about the basics - that which is common ground across denominations or religions?
• How does "doing" and "learning" in the Christian life interact? What is Jesus more pleased by?
• Does God want us to go to seminary?
• Is correct theology necessary for salvation?
• What did Jesus think about theology?
• What is the difference, in your mind, between Jesus and Religion

Look for the responses to these questions to appear on this blog over the course of the next few days.
