Extract

Varro, a naval officer and the most learned of the Romans, refers to three kinds of theology, mythological, physical, and political—mythicon, physkum, and civile: St Augustine discusses the division in the De Civitate Dei. The first ranges from fable to myth and includes symbolic and poetic theogonies, the genealogies of heaven and earth; the approach is not scientific, yet Jungians are not alone in agreeing with Plato that the results may be educationally valuable. The last is concerned with public worship largely as a factor of social cohesion, and is accordingly dominated by the requirements of administrators and lawyers in both or either Church and State. Neither represents the theology of St Thomas.
