What Does “Theology” Mean in the Bible?

The study of God and of the faith, starting from the Bible and the teaching of the Church.

It can mean

  1. In the Fathers: “theology” was the mystery of God in himself: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  2. And the works of God: what God does shows us who he is. And who God is helps us understand what he does.
  3. Where it is studied: in seminaries and Catholic universities, starting from the Bible and Tradition.
