When most women hear the word "theology," images of huge tomes of systematic theology fill our brains and intimidate us unless we happen to be in a seminary class. Not all women have this fear, but a love of learning the deep truths about God as revealed in His Word.
Simplifying this chapter does a detriment to the rich insights Ms. James puts before us. However, we need to ultimately keep in mind that "theology" is knowing God, not knowing about God. The more we learn of His attributes, His holiness, loving kindness, justice, goodness, mercy and grace, faithfulness, patience, truth and wisdom, the more we are prepared to lean into Him when our lives collide with our faith.
May we be equipped for the war and propelled to good works in the knowledge that He is sovereign over even the most mundane areas of our lives. To God be the glory!
