In your journal write the final draft of your definition of Christian theology.
I don't know that you can have a "final draft" to define Christian Theology, but I think this will suffice as my best effort. Christian Theology is about being a part of the Narrative of God. It starts with the Narrative of his creation, the failure of human creation to stay in a right relationship, and his attempts to reconcile himself with that creation. It follows with the appointment of a holy people, chosen to bear witness to God's great glory, mercy, and justice. It culminates in the person of Jesus, who bears the sin of the world so that one and for all can be reconciled with God. It continues through Jesus' followers, those who seek reconciliation with God, and attempt to share this reconciliation with others. We are all theologians, participating in the great redemption story of Jesus Christ.
