Definition of Theology and Christian Theology
This definition of theology is taken from
Wikipedia:
- Theology is a term first used by Plato in The Republic (book ii,
chap 18). The term is compounded from two Greek words theos (god)
and logos (rational utterance). It has been defined as reasoned
discourse about God or the gods, or more generally about religion or
spirituality.
- Christian theology is discourse concerning Christian faith.
Christian theologians use rational analysis and argument to
understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote Christianity.
Theology might be undertaken to help the theologian understand
Christianity more truly,[1] make comparisons between Christianity
and other traditions,[2] defend Christianity against critics,
facilitate Christianity's reform,[3] assist in the propagation of
Christianity,[4] draw on the resources of the Christian tradition to
address some present situation or need,[5] or for a variety of other
reasons.
