In our time, Christian theology has taken on a certain boom. Talking about theology is becoming less strange for many Christians, in fact, interest has arisen in understanding more and better some theological topics.
In this sense, this work written by Prof. Kapic, urges us to walk with a certain clarity, sobriety and focus on the path of theology. "A little book for new theologians" reminds us of essential truths for the theologian, not in a methodological sense but rather a practical one. The theological methodologies, systems and structures, although very important, remain in the background, what is necessary to contemplate is how essential theology is and what characteristics everyone who approaches this art, science and devotion should mature.The author divides his work into two parts, in the first part he invites us to consider why study theology in its most practical sense, and then expand the aspects of theology and the theologian. It is in the second part of the book, in which we will be challenged to see ourselves in the mirror of the practicality of our theology, and see if our theology is truly alive or dead. If we only feed the intellect or if it is something more holistic. Humility, justice, love, are some of the qualities that the author develops in relation to the theologian.
I recommend this book to those who are beginning to read theological works or who are beginning their studies in the seminary, this book will be a reminder and an announcement of what it means to do Christian theology.
I share some phrases:
One of the great dangers in theology is making our faith something we discuss rather than something that moves us. We lapse into this problem when we treat God as the mere object of our study rather than as the Lord we worship.
This is how we can test claims about knowing God and truth, not by a written exam but by examining one’s compassion for others.
