	The Theologian
		The Theologian is dedicated to presenting theological and pastoral resources of the highest quality to the wider church over the internet.
		These helpful talks will inform, encourage, and challenge Christians to think more carefully about their identity in a confused and confusing world.
		Martin Luther's deeply troubling engagement with the Jewish people is still unknown to many Protestants.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dogmatic Theology
		In his character as historian, the theologian must not lay aside his belief in the supernatural origin of Christianity and in the Divine institution of the Church, if he is to give a true and objective account of tradition, of the history of dogma, and of patrology.
		In treating of the Divine will, theologians insist on God's freedom in His external activity, and when discussing the problem of evil, they prove that God can intend sin neither as an end nor as a means to an end, but merely permits it for reasons both holy and wise.
		Theologians dispute as to the nature of this causality, i.

	The Shaking of the Foundations
		We considered the theologian as a believer in spite of his doubt and despair, and as a member of the Church, in whose power all theological work is done, in spite of his lack of certainty.
		The theologian uses realism and becomes a positivist to the positivists, a pragmatist to the pragmatists, and a tragic interpreter of life to the tragic interpreters of life.
		The real theologian is he who has the strength to perceive and to confess his weakness, and who, therefore, has the strength to become as weak to the weak, so that his is the victory.

	Theology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theology generally assumes the truth of at least some religious beliefs and is therefore often distinguished from the philosophy of religion, which does not presume the truth of any religious beliefs.
		(For instance, a conservative theologian will tend to correlate the claims they find in their religious scriptures about particular events in the past with the kind of description of the past allowed by historical criticism, arguing at least for compatibility between the two descriptions and possibly for some stronger relationship.
		More generally, however, many theologians consider that, because the topics considered in theology touch on the theologians' deepest commitments and beliefs, it is impossible to study theology with complete detachment: the study of theology is "self-involving" in a way that makes some kinds of objectivity difficult.

	Theologian, The Church Needs You - Francis Cardinal Arinze
		The theologian cooperates with the Pope and the Bishops in the preparation of documents and the presentation of aspects of faith and morals.
		The genuine theologian is marked by deep faith in God, in Jesus Christ the Son of God made man, and in the Church that Christ founded.
		Above all, the theologian, apart from intellectual competence, should be in union with God, by prayer, by regular meditation and presence before the Eucharistic Christ, and by humility in being able to say sincerely at the end of all his studies and writings: "I am just a servant of God and of the Church.

	The Theologian in Modern Society (Phronema and Behaviour)
		That is why, strictly speaking, the Orthodox faithful — and especially the theologian — are never entitled to call upon their conscience as the final criterion of truth, although for the humanist or the Protestant, this would be the cornerstone of honesty and ethics in general.
		However, in order for the theologian to be convincing and effective in his task, it is imperative for him to possess two very basic attributes: he must be honest but, at the same time, discerning.
		In order for the modern theologian to break down the barrier of suspicion, hesitation or indifference in those who will potentially listen to the word of God, the only weapon that is available in human terms is unfeigned character and honesty.

		No, those aren't theologians either, in many cases they are insecure little boys who haven't gained confidence in what they think they believe, and so have to resort to rhetorical game-playing to try to "wow" their audiences.
		A Ph.D. is not the qualification to be a theologian.
		Theologians are men who rightly divide God's Word, properly and carefully and faitfully distinguishing Law and Gospel, faitfully preaching and teaching that Word and fulfill the duties of their office as pastor, caring for the souls entrusted to their care with the Word of God.

	Instruction on the ecclesial vocation of theologian
		The theologian must therefore be attentive to the epistemological requirements of his discipline, to the demands of rigorous critical standards, and thus to a rational verification of each stage of his research.
		If, despite a loyal effort on the theologian's part, the difficulties persist, the theologian has the duty to make known to the Magisterial authorities the problems raised by the teaching in itself, in the arguments proposed to justify it, or even in the manner in which it is presented.
		In cases like these, the theologian should avoid turning to the "mass media", but have recourse to the responsible authority, for it is not by seeking to exert the pressure of public opinion that one contributes to the clarification of doctrinal issues and renders servite to the truth.

	CNS STORY: The pope needs a theologian? Former papal adviser reveals why
		The theologian also checks for wording or a phrase that could be misinterpreted or taken out of context, perhaps by the mass media, he said.
		According to tradition, the role of theologian of the papal household began with St. Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers, who was believed to have acted as theological adviser to Pope Honorius III in the 13th century.
		The papal theologian is not typically called upon to scrutinize texts that are penned directly by the pope, but he is often among the team of experts that studies drafts of papal encyclicals, sometimes giving advice on structure or phrasing.

	St. Gregory the Theologian
		Gregory the Theologian (326-389) was the son of Gregory and Nonna, a very pious woman.
		The Church refers to him in one of its prayers as the highest intellect, for delving into the deepest mysteries of the faith and being able to express her incomprehensible truths with a clear understanding and strict correctness.
		With thy theologian's speech thou didst dispel the philosopher's cobwebs,/ O glorious Gregory;/ and thou dost adorn the robe of Orthodoxy woven for the Church from on high./ Wearing this, she cries out with us thy children:/ Rejoice, O Father, most excellent mind of theology.

	The Pastor As Theologian, Part One
		In the earliest eras of the church, and through the annals of Christian history, the central theologians of the church were its pastors.
		Similarly, the great theologians of the Reformation were, in the main, pastors such as John Calvin and Martin Luther.
		Unless the pastor functions as a theologian, theology is left in the hands of those who, in many cases, have little or no connection or commitment to the local church.

	A Theologian of God
		Cosmopolitan, urbane, brilliant, he was most at home in the liturgy, surrounded by the company of the saints of the icons, wrapped by the swirl of the incense and liturgical chant, transported to heaven though still firmly planted on earth, in our time.
		Evdokimov's friend, the theologian Olivier Clément, identifies the roots of his pervasive, self-defining faith in the completely natural lived experience of the Church, the liturgy, the feasts and icons, even the centers of monastic life provided by Evdokimov's mother within the regular rhythm of their family's life.
		Michael's book, Living Icons, which includes a portrait of Paul Evdokimov and other Orthodox priests, theologians, writers, and caregivers to the homeless and poor of the 20th century is available from the University of Notre Dame Press and from St. Vladimir's Seminary Bookstore (800) 204-BOOK.

	Was G.K. Chesterton a Theologian?
		He was not a theologian in the sense that he wrote books of theology — exploring, for example, the advantages and disadvantages of applying the title "Coredemptrix" to the Blessed Virgin Mary or possible solutions to the Filioque controversy with reference to the Christology of the Cappadocian Fathers.
		He was not a theologian in the sense that he identified himself as such or what he wrote as theology.
		He is a theologian, finally, who leads us by the way of paradox, from darkness at noon and the mystery of the shedding of blood, into an undying dawn as "sudden as laughter".

		Küng, a priest who recently retired from the University of Tubingen in Germany, was declared to be no longer a Catholic theologian in 1979, a penalty prompted in part by his refusal to uphold the doctrine of papal infallibility.

		Despite the recent choice of the Episcopal Church USA, a United Methodist theologian says a self-declared homosexual will never be ordained a bishop in his denomination.
		For some conservative leaders of mainline U.S. churches, the ECUSA's embrace of homosexuality at the leadership level is particularly foreboding because of the fear that their own churches may move in a similar direction, thus leading to similar ruptures.
		According to the theologian, members of his denomination are clear on its doctrine and policies.

		By 1964 he had become aware of a change among theologians as a result of the Council debates, namely “that nothing was now stable in the Church, that everything was open to revision “(132).
		Theologians began to look upon themselves as the true knowledgeable experts in the faith and therefore no longer subordinate to the shepherds, i.e., the bishops and the Magisterium.
		The Instruction on the ecclesial vocation of the theologian (CDF, 1990) begins with the invitation to pursue truth, and ends with the denial that dissent is a “right”.

	"Every Man Must be a Theologian" by Dr. John H. Gerstner
		A lay theologian is a person who has a true knowledge of God which he understands in nontechnical, nonprofessional, nonacademic terms.
		If a theologian is a person who knows God, then by reverse reasoning a person who is not a theologian does not know God.
		One theologian has written that it is not enough to “understand” but you must also “stand under.” For the truth of God is a Person — a Person who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

	Pope Meets Dissident Theologian for Talks \| Europe \| Deutsche Welle \|
		The news that Pope Benedict XVI met over the weekend with the controversial Swiss theologian Hans Küng, one of the most prominent critics of the Roman Catholic Church, struck the Vatican like a bolt from the blue.
		The meeting with Küng, who was banned from teaching Catholic theology by the Vatican in 1979 for questioning the pope's infallibility, took place at the pontiff's Castel Gandolfo summer residence and was held "in a friendly atmosphere," Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.
		The two former university colleagues agreed not to discuss doctrinal questions, which put the Swiss theologian at odds with Church authorities, but focused rather on the question of the role of the church in a secular world.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Notre Dame Theologian Counsels Theologians To Ignore Mandate
		What is necessary, he wrote, is a new period of dialog between bishops and theologians; but not just any theologians: only those who receive the imprimatur from the Catholic Theological Society of America — an association of the most hard-core dissidents in the United States.
		Most bishops, he said, will leave it up to the university to decide whether or not a professor should apply for the mandate, and most administrators will be unlikely to force the issue from fear of legal action or losing their reputation with the secular accreditation boards.
		No, CUA is unique in its relationship to the Holy See and in the composition of its board of trustees… To be legally effective the requirements of the mandate would have to be put into the bylaws of each nonpontifical institution.
