Teologisk

Teologisk is an adjective in Norwegian and Danish used to describe things related to theology—the study of the divine, religious beliefs, and the theory and practice of religion. The term derives from the Greek theos (god) and logos (word, study), via Latin theologicus, and entered Scandinavian languages through Latin and European scholarship.

It is used to modify nouns, for example teologisk fakultet (theology faculty), teologisk institutt (theology institute/department), teologisk forskning (theological research), and teologiske spørsmål (theological questions). In academic contexts it covers dogmatics, exegesis, moral theology, systematic theology, and church history.

In modern usage, teologisk can refer to religious studies more broadly or to Christian theology, though it may appear in discussions about theology within other religious traditions as well. The term is common in Norway and Denmark; in Sweden the form is teologisk as well, and usage varies by context.

Related terms include teologi (theology) and teolog (theologian); the adjective teologisk corresponds to the English word theological. The word is typically encountered in religious, historical, and philosophical writing and is used to describe disciplinary or doctrinal content rather than individuals.
