Happy New Year Everyone!
Ellen T. Charry writes in her article, “Educating for Wisdom: Theological Studies as a Spiritual Exercise,” (in Theology Today, Vol. 66, no. 3, Oct., 2009, 295-308) that the goal of theology is to gain wisdom of God. A great deal of this work is based on Augustine’s De Trinitate.
Basically, in studying theology we gain knowledge that leads to a wisdom of God. I think this is an important point to make and remember that should keep me and all other theological snobs humble. What we are doing is engaging in a spiritual exercise that will hopefully bring us closer to God. This is no small thing and should not be taken lightly. We need to remember that any time we engage in theological pursuits we should do it with fear (awe/respect) and trembling.
