Randy Alcorn in his book "Courageous" emphasizes that everyone engages in theology, unknowingly interpreting beliefs about life and God, making us all theologians in some capacity. This engagement can be either positive or negative, reflecting how we understand and relate to spiritual matters.

Alcorn encourages readers to strive for a deeper and more accurate understanding of theology. By becoming "good theologians," we can enrich our lives and the lives of those around us, fostering a more meaningful connection with our faith and beliefs. The choice of becoming a good theologian is framed as vital for personal growth and understanding.
