I started college last week, and, after one class... it's going to be a very interesting semester...!!The first was theology and counselling foundations.. looking at theology and how counselling slots in with God. Quite a challenging topic, and quite something to suddenly be talking Theology, philosophy, rthodoxy, exgesis and the like..!!
We were given a couple of helpful quotes to help us all get our heads around us. I like the one by Kevin Vanhoozer...
Christian theology is the intellectual, imaginative, and spiritual attempt to discover the truth about God, the world, and ourselves, to appropriate this truth to ourselves, and to bring the Word of God to bear on all areas of life, thereby rendering God's Word in speech, thought and life back to God to the glory of God.
Quite a mouthful, but I like the implications.. that we take what we learn, and live it out.
Now, for me to take in all that is taught in this class... and 2 others... and live it out, write it out, and get it out in the exams...!!
