RE: What value do you see in studying theology in concerns to Christianity?

I'm the same as you. I find theology more interesting from a secular and historical perspective in that I'm interested to know how theological thinking has evolved over the centuries, specifically how theologians have attempted to answer the difficult questions pertaining to God.
The problem is I don't have the time in the world to read about everything I enjoy and ultimately studying theology is meaningless to me beyond the joy of studying. The theologian's God is at best superfluous and, because of limited lifespan, would rather spend the time studying things that make me more and more knowledgeable about the way the world works or about important events that have occurred in the history of this universe.
