What is theology and how do you study this subject? This introduction addresses the Christian faith and the science behind it. It organizes the traditional body of theological thought and research, making it newly accessible. On the other hand, it provides an initial orientation for the start of studies and clarifies the structure of theological education. It presents the questions that define theology, the disciplines it encompasses, and how it relates to personal spirituality. It outlines the institutions involved in teaching, the requirements for thinking and learning, methods of theological research and text work, the course of study, and subject-specific peculiarities. The guiding questions of the book are genuine inquiries from students. Bertram Stubenrauch is responsible for the subject of dogmatics at the University of Munich and has extensive experience.
