Featured Term (selected at random):

SUPERNATURAL THEOLOGY

The scientific exposition of the truths about God as he is known by faith in divine revelation and with the assistance of divine grace. Theology is a true science because it uses principles that are founded on God's revealed word, it draws new knowledge by reflection on these principles, and it unites the whole in a strict, scientific system.

Dennis Prager in an essay on Ethical Monotheism writes....

¨God is supranatural, meaning "above nature" (I do not use the more common term "supernatural" because it is less precise and conjures up irrationality). This is why Genesis, the Bible's first book, opens with, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" in a world in which nearly all people worshipped nature, the Bible's intention was to emphasize that nature is utterly subservient to God who made it. Obviously, therefore, God is not a part of nature, and nature is not God.¨

Hopefully irenic....
