I did not learn my theology all at once, but had to search constantly deeper and deeper for it. my temptations did that for me, for no one can understand holy scripture without practice and temptations...i t is not by reading, writing, or speculation that one becomes a theologian. nay, rather, it is living, dying, and being damned that makes one a theologian.

More From Martin Luther

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Reading Thinking Dying
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.
Years Practice Space
From the dawn of exact knowledge to the present day, observation, experiment, and speculation have gone hand in hand; and, whenever science has halted or strayed from the right path, it has been, either because its votaries have been content with mere unverified or unverifiable speculation (and this is the commonest case, because observation and experiment are hard work, while speculation is amusing); or it has been, because the accumulation of details of observation has for a time excluded speculation.
Hard Work Hands Dawn
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.
Real Reading Book
In every system of theology, therefore, there is a chapter de libero arbitrio. this is a question which every theologian finds in his path, and which he must dispose of; and on the manner in which it is determined depends his theology, and of course his religion, so far as his theology is to him a truth and reality
Reality Path Determined

Playboy, very clearly, from the outset, has fought against the historical repression of women. the notion that we were anywhere else simply defies the reality.
Reality Historical Playboy
Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of our imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable. this, my friends, is the crux of our solitude.
