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

[Acrobat]

The world around them, was viewed like a story book.

Okay, stop. How do you know this?

For starters because I’m religious and share a this religious view of reality with them, just like pretty much every other religious person. And such thinking is as old as humanity itself. Secondly religion encapsulates the art of story telling, incorporates it, rather than treat it a distinct genre. When the term Truth is used in religious writing and scripture, its almost always in context of some purpose, goal, like being the way, a source of liberation, the opposite of evil, etc...

Thirdly teleological thinking comes pretty intuitively to us, observed even in children of those raised in non religious homes.
