Question

Describe the function of theology as mediator and interpreter. Give an example of a current event or situation that could benefit from the mediation of theology.

Answer 1

Answer:

Theology can function as both mediator and interpreter as it serves to both translate and interpret the sources for the public making the meaning more easy for the present-day generation.

Explanation:

'Christian Thought And Practice: A Primer' is a theological book written by Natalie Kertes Weaver. The book is a synthesis on Christian theology and Christian Practices.

In this book, the author has discussed theology as both a mediator and an interpreter. According to Natalie, theology has been derived from Greek word 'theo-logia' which means God-talk. So, theology is can said to be a thought or talks about God.

According to Natalie, theology functions as both mediator and interpreter as it serves as a translation and interpretion of the sources, for instance the Bible, and make it easier for present-day public to understand the meaning of traditions.

The current situation that could be benefitted from the mediation of theology will be studying the 'church' and how an online forum be allowed in the institution of churches.
