Theology Without Content

I've been reading God: A Guide To The Perplexed recently. It's a little out of the issues that are currently suited to my mind. To be honest I am struggling to stay interested in anything that I am currently reading.

God is an idea that is present in every culture. Which puts it on the same level as dragons and faeries. But then, I've always believed in maintaining a healthy respect for faeries. Dragons, I'm less worried by.

Theology, however, is a little separate from the issue of the empirical existence of God. Before I read God: A Guide To The Perplexed I thought of theology as a discipline which provided content for the asking of contentless but important logical questions. For instance, the issue of whether God will forgive Satan raises questions about the nature of good and evil which are impossible to ask outside of theology.

I'm beginning to wander if there isn't a little more to it. For instance, the content of theology can be described as the infinite, but there's more to it than that. It's about the whole of experience brought into an infinite, unknowable state.

So basically, theology describes the always unknowable whole, the pinnacle of awareness, etc. To what end? My problem here is that constituting the subject of theology determines what I filter out of theological discourse and is really no better than starting with the acceptance of a particular prophetic vision and working from there.

So, I don't know, about this one.
