Theology Proper: God

Main article: God in Christianity

In Christianity, God is the creator and preserver of the universe. God is the sole ultimate power in the universe, but is distinct from it. The Bible never speaks of God as impersonal. Instead, it refers to him in personal terms – who speaks, sees, hears, acts, and loves. God is understood to have a will and personality and is an all powerful, divine and benevolent being. He is represented in Scripture as being primarily concerned with people and their salvation.

Famous quotes containing the words theology and/or god:

    “A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “We find the most terrible form of atheism, not in the militant and passionate struggle against the idea of God himself, but in the practical atheism of everyday living, in indifference and torpor. We often encounter these forms of atheism among those who are formally Christians.”
    —Nicolai A. Berdyaev (1874–1948)
