Anyway - 2 things
1)  i don't know what you mean when you say theology.  so was asking for your personal meaning.
2)  i haven't seen it in practice.  so i can have a definition but i dont know know what it is

if you like discussing it, i thought you could shed some light

Hi Confused-by-christianity,

I get what you mean. I see it from a layman’s perspective, myself. I do like discussing it. I don’t know if I shed (or will shed) any light, but certainly open to discussing it more!

Here is a quote from a website (I can’t link to it yet)

Theology is rooted in two Greek words: Theos, meaning God, and logos, meaning reason. Theology is using our reason to study and know more about God and how he has shown himself to the world. There is a discipline known as “natural theology,” whereby we are able to study certain truths about God, including the fact that he has created the world and the fact that God exists. As St. Paul makes clear that God’s existence is revealed through his creation, the truth of natural theology is knowable by reason alone. “Christian theology” is when we use our reason to study and know more about God and how he has shown himself to the world. The object of study is God and his revelation, including how he had revealed himself to Israel and in the definitive revelation in his Son, Jesus Christ, which is especially manifested in Scripture and Tradition. Theology often goes further than this by applying what we know about revelation to new topics and social phenomena. In short, because God touches every facet of our existence, theology deals with the whole of life.

How do you see theology?
