Quest. 1. Should not any science, divine or human, have an appropriate name? Ans. Yes.
2. What is this ordinary name of that science which treats of divine things? Ans. Theology.
3. From what is this name derived? Ans. From the Greek words Theou, God, and Logos, a word, or discourse.
4. Why is this science called Theology? Ans. As it treats of God—a word or discourse about God as the object. Also as it is revealed by God, or is his word.
5. Does not the name Theology, as it is used by Christians, include both these ideas? Ans. Yes. Its leading idea is a discourse or treatise about God; but it is a treatise drawn from his own word.
