| | Definition of Theology - Biocrawler |
| | 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. | | | In Eastern Christianity, there is more emphasis on prayer than on intellectual thought and study as a means to learn about God, and so as the proper form of "theology". | | | So, for instance, some academic courses on Buddhism which are dedicated to the rational investigation of a Buddhist understanding of the world prefer the designation Buddhist philosophy to the term Buddhist theology. |

| | The first Christians in Egypt were mostly Jews and Greeks who were living there, but by the end of the second century large numbers of native Egyptians were joining the church, and the scriptures were translated into three local languages. | | | Christianity began to spread southward from Ethiopia in the 12th and 13th centuries, but only slowly, because of Arab naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean. | | | The statement of faith that (with some variations) is accepted by most Christians around the world has its roots in African theology. |

| | Member: Dead Christians Society - Christian History |
| | Nineteenth-century liberal theologians liked to talk about the "essence of Christianity"—usually little more than "the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man"—that needed to be extricated from the centuries of errant doctrines and practices of a church that never seemed to get it right. | | | Believers are all part of a "Dead Christians Society." We have far more brothers and sisters in the faith who are no longer around than we do contemporary saints. | | | A powerful way to prepare ourselves for that mission is to read how Christians of the past have sowed the Gospel into their cultures. |

| | Sexual Freedom, Polyamory, Christianity: The Case For Compatibility |
| | The traditional Christian doctrine on this subject, a doctrine which strictly forbids sexual intercourse with anyone prior to church-sanctioned marriage, is primarily based on the usage of the term "porneia" in the New Testament. | | | This version of Christianity does not conform to the gospel of Christ or the teachings of the New Testament as a whole. | | | This was the path, begun near the end of the second century, of converting the masses to Christianity, "to bring them into the church, but with no hope that these thousands of people can live as if they were in the kingdom of God" (that is, in a full spiritual freedom). |

Out of protest dozens of Buddhist teachers - male and female - and monks poured gasoline over themselves and burned themselves. | | | In the middle of the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. |
