a joyful science
"It is to be noted further that when it is conceived and executed correctly and resolutely, yet also freely and modestly, theology is a singularly beautiful and joyful science, so that it is only willingly and cheerfully or not at all that we can be theologians."
Barth, K., Bromiley, G.W. & Torrance, T.F., 2004. Church dogmatics: The doctrine of reconciliation, Part 3.2, London; New York: T&T Clark.
