What does it mean to live one’s faith?
This site is dedicated to the study of our own theologies otherwise regarded as living our faith. Theology is what is called a phenomenological study. According to David Woodruff Smith (2013), phenomenology “is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view.” Smith (2013) went on to state that “phenomenology is the study of ‘phenomena’ which are the appearances of things, or things as they appear in our experience, or the ways we experience things, thus the meanings things have in our experience.” In this sense, the philosophy of theology is inherently metaphysical. It deals with Christian metaphysics which Joseph Owens (1967) described as “a philosophy of metaphysics that deals with things that exist while demonstrating what is knowable about them on the grounds of their existence.”
