Abstract
One can hardly begin a discussion of any area of theology without acknowledging that what we call theology has a parent called religion. Sometimes to understand the child, the offspring, we have to first of all try to understand the parent. To discuss ‘The Role of Theology in a Post-Modern World’ one must venture into a discussion of the role religion has played and continues to play in the development of humanity. This, in turn, will help us understand the role of theology; especially in relation to one of humanity’s primary endeavors, that has not changed throughout the ages and is still at the heart of human quest in this post-modern age.
