Teologiska

Teologiska is a Swedish adjective meaning related to theology, the academic study of God, the divine, and religious belief. It is used to describe doctrines, texts, practices, or disciplines connected with theology. The noun form is teologi, and the related field is teologi, while the adjective appears in several inflected forms depending on number and gender. The basic form teologisk is used for singular common gender; teologiskt for singular neuter. In plural or in definite plural contexts the form is teologiska. Examples: en teologisk fråga, två teologiska frågor; teologiska texter; den teologiska fakulteten.

Etymology and scope: The Swedish teologiska derives from teologi, which in turn comes from Greek theologia via Latin theologia. The term is used across Christian traditions and in broader religious studies, philosophy of religion, and comparative religion to denote topics that concern the study of God, the nature of religion, revelation, and religious ethics. In academic writing it often prefixes nouns to indicate subject matter, for example teologiska frågor eller teologiska analyser.

Notes: Although primarily a linguistic term, teologiska also appears in everyday Swedish to describe religion-related topics. It is distinct from secular or non-theological analyses, though interdisciplinary approaches may treat theology alongside history, anthropology, or philosophy.
