天主教神学

天主教神学（英语：Catholic theology），又译为公教神学，明朝天主教称之为“天学”，是指天主教会根据《圣经》和圣传所发展的神学研究^[1]。天主教会的信仰体现在《尼西亚信经》、《使徒信经》中，并在《天主教教理》中被详细论述^[2]^[3]。

天主教会的信仰理论在历史上几次重要的大公会议中得到修订或澄清^[4]。公元50年，耶稣的门徒们召开了耶路撒冷会议，确立向外邦人（英语：Gentile）传教等初代教会的重要发展方向^[5]；而天主教会最近一次召开的梵蒂冈第二届大公会议的各项决议，对现今的天主教会影响巨大，尤其是对牧灵（英语：Pastoral care）及福传确立新的方向以与现代社会交流。

During the third century synodal government became so developed that synods used to meet not merely at times of crisis but on a regular basis every year, normally between Easter and Pentecost."
