英文詞源
- theology
- theology: [14] Greek theós meant ‘god’. (Despite the more than passing similarity, it is not related to Latin deus ‘god’, source of English deity. Its precise ancestry has never been determined. It may go back ultimately to the Indo-European base *dhē- ‘put, place’, which also produced English do, but it could equally well have been borrowed from a non-Indo- European source.) From it was derived theologíā ‘study of divine things’, which passed into English via Latin theologia and Old French theologie, and also apothéōsis ‘deification’, from which English gets apotheosis [17].
=> apotheosis - theology (n.)
- mid-14c., "the science of religion, study of God and his relationship to humanity," from Old French theologie "philosophical study of Christian doctrine; Scripture" (14c.), from Latin theologia, from Greek theologia "an account of the gods," from theologos "one discoursing on the gods," from theos "god" (see theo-) + -logos "treating of" (see -logy). Meaning "a particular system of theology" is from 1660s.
Theology moves back and forth between two poles, the eternal truth of its foundations and the temporal situation in which the eternal truth must be received. [Paul Tillich, "Systematic Theology," 1951]
