Theology

subjects

Theology is the study of God and the things of God based on His revelations through scripture and nature. When theology is anchored in valid philosophy and legitimate science, it helps us understand what cannot be known through sense or reason alone, revealing what is ultimately true and giving meaning and purpose to our lives.

Faith is a gift of God, but it also a profoundly free and human act. …  Believing means entrusting oneself in full freedom and joyfully to God’s providential plan for history, as did the patriarch Abraham, as did Mary of Nazareth.  Faith, then, is an assent with which our mind and our hearts say their “yes” to God, confessing that Jesus is Lord.   And this “yes” transforms life, unfolds the path towards fullness of meaning, thereby making it new, rich in joy and trustworthy hope.

Pope Benedict XVI, The Transforming Power of Faith (Ignatius Press, 2013), 17

Jeremiah 9:23-34

Thus says the Lord: Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom, do not let the mighty boast in their might, do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth;  but let those who boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
