theology is the study of god and it s very important doxology is an expression of praise to god so the point here is that all theology should ultimately lead to doxology if theology doesn t lead to doxology then we ve actually missed the point of theology so if you have theology without doxology you just have dead cold orthodoxy which is horrible right on the other side we have people who say ugh forget theology i just wanna praise right but if we have doxology without theology we actually have idolatry because it s just a random expression of praise but it s not actually informed by the truth of who god is so god is concerned with both he s concerned with an accurate understanding of him and that accurate understanding of him leading to a response of praise adoration and worship towards him1
