Because of statements like the following:

"Theology is a peculiarly beautiful discipline. Indeed, we can
confidently say that it is the most beautiful of all disciplines. To find
academic study distasteful is the mark of the Philistine. It is an
extreme form of Philistinism to find, or to be able to find, theology
distasteful. The theologian who labors without joy is not a theologian at
all. Sulky faces, morose thoughts and boring ways of speaking are
intolerable in this field." [Karl Barth]
