Challenging the Modern Approach to Theology

Traditional theology emphasized the central role of sacred scripture and a deep engagement with biblical texts. However, modern academic theology can sometimes lack this foundational focus on scripture, with students often studying little to no sacred scripture in their theological education. This shift raises questions about the essence and purpose of theology when scripture is not a central point of study, challenging the traditional understanding of theology's roots.
