Theological Dictionary Index

Theology is literally reasonable discourse concerning God (Greek θεος, theos, "God", + λογος, logos, "word" or "reason"). By extension, it also refers to the study of other religious topics. It is also defined as the rational and systematic study of religion and its influences and of the nature of religious truth. It is a particular system or school of religious beliefs and teachings. The learned profession acquired by specialized courses in religion (usually taught at a college or seminary); "he studied theology at Oxford".

Theological Dictionaries:

Beginning to study theology is like stepping into a conversation that has been going on for two thousand years.How do you take part in this conversation--or even make sense of it--if you don't understand the vocabulary or know the contributions made by other participants? Theological Dictionaries are great companions offering concise definitions of a large list of commonly known as well unknown terms in the field of Theology. We have presented a few divisions of Theology in here under the related terms section and also some of the top seller books towards the end of this section.

Related Terms:
Liberation theology - A theological movement, popular in the Third World, which interprets salvation, particularly as seen in the Exodus, in political terms. Therefore, the tendency is to believe the church's primary purpose is to assist in changing oppressive social, economic, and political structures. Natural theology (or natural religion) is theology based on reason and ordinary experience. Thus it is distinguished from revealed theology (or revealed religion) which is based on scripture and religious experiences of various kinds; and also from transcendental theology, theology from a priori reasoning. Covenant Theology - The theological system developed by Reformed theologians taking the covenant as its overarching theme. Distinctives of covenant theology include: Christ's judicial (substitutionary) atonement, the imputation of Adam's sin to all of his posterity, salvation exclusively by grace through faith, the abiding authority of the law, and infant baptism. Replacement Theology - Supersessionism is the traditional Christian belief that Christianity is the fulfillment of Biblical Judaism, and therefore that Jews who deny that Jesus is the Messiah fall short of their calling as God's Chosen people. Process theology (also known as Neoclassical theology) is a school of thought influenced by the metaphysical process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947). Christian theology practices theology from a Christian viewpoint or studies Christianity theologically. Given the overwhelming influence exercised by Christianity, especially in pre-modern Europe, Christian theology permeates much of Western culture and often reflects that culture. Dominion Theology is a theological form of Dominionism practiced by a very small set of religious movements within Protestant Christian evangelicalism and fundamentalism. Primarily found in the United States, Dominion Theology has also appeared in Canada, and several European countries. Death of God Theology (AKA: Radical Theology.) Theological fad in the mid-1960's. More a journalistic phenomenon than a serious doctrinal movement. Loosely based on Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of a human "superman" replacing the traditional god-myth, Immanuel Kant's philosophical judgment that God is so transcendent that He is unknowable, Rudolf Bultmann's demotion of all Scripture to a mere fiction story, as well as Paul Tillich's pantheism. Reformed Theology - A system of religious belief based on the writings and beliefs of Calvin. Narrative theology was a late 20th century theological development which supported the idea that the Church's use of the Bible should focus on a narrative presentation of the faith, rather than on the development of a systematic theology. The Christian faith is thus also to be interpreted by the Christian community, and not by outside scholars or explorers. Narrative theology has also been referred to as post-liberalism.
