Theology

thee-OL-uh-jeenoun

“Words about God” — the disciplined study of God and of all things in relation to God.

From theos (“God”) + logos (“word, reason”). Theology is faith seeking understanding (Anselm): not cold speculation but the believing mind thinking carefully about what God has revealed. Its sub-disciplines include biblical, systematic, historical, and pastoral theology.
