Theology: Study of God

It seems to me that we've placed theology on some pedestal that prehaps it shouldn't be. We are inadvertently making study and "gnosis" the epitome of life and faith.

Studying is a part of life
Life is not a part of a study
Life is to be lived to live, not lived to study, not studied to live.

There is no epignosis in study. You only find it in life. Behaviorists "know" human interaction but many cannot get a date. Economists "know" money but many cannot balance their checkbook nor can they do well investing in the stock market. Doctors "know" the human body and pathogens but far too many die before 60 years old. And theologians. They "know" about God, but how many authentically, intimately, and deeply know Him?
