Definitions

  1. the learned profession acquired by specialized courses in religion (usually taught at a college or seminary)

Word origin

From Middle English theologie, from Middle French theologie, from Old French theologie, from Latin theologia, from Koine Greek θεολογία (theología), from θεολόγος (theológos, adjective), from θεός (theós) + λόγος (lógos). By surface analysis, theo- + -logy.

Used in a sentence

  • Theology is a study, but religion is an experience. Theology is the study of religion, and when we study theology we are studying religion.
  • In this context, one could conceivably hold onto the theology that baptism is essential for salvation.
  • Another problem with the theology that Jews are chosen for a universal ethical mission is that one does not need to be Jewish to be a beacon of light.
