Everything we learn should be understood in light of the overarching reality of the character of God. #2 The word theology shares a suffix with the names of many disciplines and sciences, such as biology, physiology, and anthropology.

Theology is the study of God, and it includes the study of Christ, the Holy Spirit, sin, and future things. #3 Existentialism is a philosophy of existence that rejects the notion of essential truth.
