theology, n.All

Theology is a thing of unreason altogether, an edifice of assumptions and dreams, a superstructure without a substructure.

Theology is to religion what poisons are to food.

Theology is the effort to explain the unknowable in terms of the not worth knowing.

Theology is in man more than man as the inhuman core of man. It is another word for meta-psychology.

Theology is simply that part of religion that requires brains.

Theology is tasked with finding words that do not divide but unite, that do not create conflict but unity, that do not hurt but heal.

Theology is only thought applied to religion.

Theology is indispensable for religious communities to make sense of themselves and their changing views about the world in light of what is perceived to be revelation, but, at the same time, that theology can have a pretentiousness, or double pretentiousness, if it is acontextual as opposed to contextual, if it is foundationalist as opposed to antifoundationalist, or ahistorical as opposed to historicist.
