If you’re reading this blog, I hope it’s because you love theology as much as I do. I am a self-proclaimed theology nerd, spending many of my days looking for new books about theological topics I’m interested in and spending many of my nights writing about theology for you all to read. I attended Bible school for several years studying theology day in and day out, and I continue to read my Bible and learn more about God on a near-daily basis. Like I said, I love theology.

But maybe you don’t quite have the affection for it as I do. Perhaps, you tend to view theology with apathy, disdain, or confusion. You don’t like it, you don’t care about it, or you just can’t seem to understand it. Maybe you don’t see why studying theology would in any way be helpful or necessary in your everyday life—as a stretched-thin student, as an underappreciated stay at home mom, as an overworked employee.

As theologian R.C. Sproul once argued in a book of the same name, everyone is a theologian, and that includes all of us—sisters and daughters, wives and mothers, employed and unemployed. No matter our circumstances, theology is essential for our lives, which means we must ensure that our theology matches with what the Bible teaches. And this is exactly what Phylicia Masonheimer writes in her newest book, Every Woman a Theologian.
