Theology Is Not A Private Subject For Theologians Only. Nor Is It A Private Subject For Professors. Fortunately, There Have Always Been Pastors Who Have Understood More About Theology Than Most Professors. Nor Is Theology A Private Subject Of Study For Pastors.

Theology Is A Matter For The Church.
