ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -theology, Study of the nature of God and the relationship of the human and divine. The term was first used in the works of Plato and other Greek philosophers to refer to the teaching of myth, but the discipline expanded within Christianity and has found application in all theistic religions (see theism).

Detailed explanation-2: -Omnipotence-God is all-powerful-everything consistent with God’s nature is possible. Omniscience-God is all-knowing, of past, present and future. Omnibenevolence-God is all-good/all-loving. Omnipresence-God is present everywhere.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities and seminaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus theology is essentially subjectivist, a description of religious experience. Doctrine is not based upon something which is objectively given or revealed, but is a description of our own religious experiences. Dogmatic is the systema-tization of the convictions of our own Church in our own time.

Detailed explanation-5: -The divine nature refers to the spiritual attributes of God (His spiritual nature), the righteous character of God (His righteous nature) and the supernatural possibilities of God (His supernatural nature). Possessing the divine nature, therefore, makes us act like God.
