Theology and Theologians

Theology is the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; the study of God and God’s relation to the world. Theologians lead this study, and many significant theologians and scholars of the church have been recorded while teaching at seminaries and speaking at church gatherings. Their thoughts and wisdom has been preserved on these recordings.
