Have anyone studied theology or taken theology classes in college or seminary?

Modules for courses change all the time. I studied religious studies major and had a good broad education. I covered the Old Testament/Christianity and religions of India. I also took classes in Judaism and other things. I also did modules on science creationism-bang big theory and other theories and how they are not incompatabile with Christanity and creationism. Further study could lead me to become a doctor of theology itself, but I do not wish to really look into doing further study.

The word "theology" concerns me. It makes it sound like God is a subject that can be mastered. Instead what one does is learn the labels and definitions man has created that gives one a feeling of mastery which in fact makes one more distant. It seems a good way to cripple faith.

In a way it seems to encapsulate the deficiencies of industrial classroom instruction as opposed to apprentice relational type instruction.

I'm purely an amateur theologian.
