Teologi Kristen

Teologi Kristen adalah teologi – studi mengenai yang ilahi dan agama – tentang keyakinan-keyakinan dan praktik-praktik Kristen.^[1] Teologi Kristen terutama berfokus pada teks-teks Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru, juga pada tradisi Kristen. Para teolog Kristen menggunakan eksegesis Alkitab, analisis dan argumen rasional. Para teolog mungkin mempelajari teologi Kristen untuk banyak alasan, seperti untuk:

membantu mereka untuk lebih mengerti keyakinan-keyakinan dasar Kekristenan^[2]
membuat perbandingan antara Kekristenan dengan agama-agama lainnya^[3]
membela Kekristenan terhadap keberatan dan kritisisme^[4]
memfasilitasi reformasi dalam gereja Kristen^[5]
membantu dalam menyebarkan Kekristenan^[6]
memanfaatkan tradisi Kristen untuk menangani situasi saat ini atau kebutuhan yang dirasakan^[7]
mendalami filsafat Kristen, khususnya tentang filsafat Neoplatonik^[8]^[9]

Tradisi-tradisi Kristen
