This is a repository for my occasional thoughts — musings — as well as for more formal publications, and book reviews. I write about theology, and about all sorts of other things as well, in ways which usually come back to theology, some way or other. Hence the title — “theology among other things”.
Thomas Aquinas famously commented that theology involves the study of all things in relation God, either it considers God himself, or all others things for which God is their beginning and end (Summa Theologica I.1.7.). Thinking about God is ‘theology proper’. As a discipline theology then extends to other loci – Christology, creation, providence, revelation, harmatology (the study of sin), soteriology (study of salvation), ecclesiology (study of the church), eschatology (study of the last things) and theological ethics. In turn, each of these touches every aspect of existence and life. Everything is created by him and is for him, it will all be part of his kingdom, so theology considers all things in relation to God.
