What are the goals of theology?
Firstly, “Theos” is a Greek word meaning God. The second part of the word “ology” means the study of something/someone. It may be deduced, therefore, that this word means the study of a deity. Anyone is able and permitted to study theology. The goal of theology is to study the existence and origin of any particular deity, why He/She/It exists and what His/Her/It’s intentions are for us and all creation. The study of theology is often undertaken by those who wish to become a priest/minister/pastor against the background of their particular religious traditions.
