In this section we introduce you to a theology of ethics, or an ethical theology. Theology differs from Bible exposition in that it concerns great verities that are not directly mentioned in the Bible, yet can be concluded to from it all the same. Bible exposition interprets passages from the Bible and compares them with each other and in this way teaches us. But verities as the Trinity and the hypostatic union (that Christ is one Person consisting in both a human and divine nature) are less obvious, but equally important.
Just like philosophy is concerned with the fringes of science (but should not abuse them for subjective opinions), so theology deals with verities that are less directly available, but nonetheless important.
Theology (knowledge about the divinity) is indirectly also knowledge about yourself. Ancient philosopers taught to know yourself, supposedly, but theology teaches you to know the Lord. And it is only in that way that our eyes are opened about ourselves.
A theology of ethics, however, makes a moral assessment about other theologies, from monotheism to polytheism. And that is the ambitious task of this section. Ideally there should be only one theology that we all believe in. But human reason and emotion has deviated from that in the course of history. Many are the sects, cults and religions that occupy a wrongful place in the hearts of people and it is in the heart that the battles are fought.
