The*ol"o*gy (?), n.; pl.
Theologies (#). [L. theologia, Gr. &?;; &?; God +
&?; discourse: cf. F. théologie. See Theism, and
Logic.] The science of God or of religion; the science which
treats of the existence, character, and attributes of God, his laws and
government, the doctrines we are to believe, and the duties we are to
practice; divinity; (as more commonly understood) "the knowledge derivable
from the Scriptures, the systematic exhibition of revealed truth, the
science of Christian faith and life."
Many speak of theology as a science of religion
[instead of "science of God"] because they disbelieve that there is any
knowledge of God to be attained. Prof. R. Flint (Enc.
Brit.).
Theology is ordered knowledge; representing in the
region of the intellect what religion represents in the heart and life of
man. Gladstone.
