It's only when Christian theologians resort to revelation that the Christian god suddenly becomes "meaningful" (and rather absurd as a notion).
christian theology is incoherent to the point of absurdity. god killing his son so he can forgive our future sin is like me breaking my son"s legs so i can forgive my neighbor in case she ever parks her car on my drive. it is quite ridiculous.
Biblical scholarship, biblical studies, biblical archaeology, and such like are legitimate areas of study. Theology? Not so much. Theology is simply a bunch of oddballs who simply know how to extract a salary on the basis of a bucket of crap. No theoligians actually believe their own crap.
