Ministry Resources: Theology Resources - Study of the God of the Bible
Theology comes from two Greek words -- "theos" (theo-) meaning God and "logos" (-ology) meaning word. Hence, it is literally words about God, or a study of God. While the term can be used more broadly, these theological resources will focus in specifically on the God of the Bible, which is sometimes called Theology Proper.
The Bible presents God as the One of whom there is none greater, worthy of the love, trust, and worship of those He created. Click on a tab below to view a list of theology resources to help you gain a general understanding about God or to study His attributes (character, nature) or names
