Theology - hmm
Why is theology so confusing. I find it hard to understand the smallest of texts as the language used is so complex sometimes looking up the words in the dictionary doesn't even help. I'm hoping this will become a lot simpler by the end of the year; my knowledge will be extended about the subject and I wont still have the confused look upon my face that seems to stick there every time I'm in a lecture. The urge to draw pictures all over the page to keep me awake will hopefully be replaced by notes about the subject that I will, by then, find absolutely amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is an awesome subject. I just find it hard to concentrate on things that just constantly seem to be going over my head.
If anyone has any practical ideas or wisdom in the way of concentration and understand let me know please, could really do with it!

I agree Theology seems a bit hard to get your head around but I'm hoping it will become easier but not too easy because it's good to be chalenged :)
Don't get yourself worked up about it is the best advice.
Don't try to read into it for more than 20 minutes at a time.
As you reach the end of a chater make some brief notes, a couple of sentences describing what you think the writer is saying.
If you come across a term you don't understand you need a good theological dictionary.

Finally read Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, to keep theology and philosophy in perspective.
