天主教神學

天主教神學（英語：Catholic theology），又譯為公教神學，明朝天主教稱之為「天學」，是指天主教會根據《聖經》和聖傳所發展的神學研究^[1]。天主教會的信仰體現在《尼西亞信經》、《使徒信經》中，並在《天主教教理》中被詳細論述^[2]^[3]。

天主教會的信仰理論在歷史上幾次重要的大公會議中得到修訂或澄清^[4]。公元50年，耶穌的門徒們召開了耶路撒冷會議，確立向外邦人（英語：Gentile）傳教等初代教會的重要發展方向^[5]；而天主教會最近一次召開的梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議的各項決議，對現今的天主教會影響巨大，尤其是對牧靈（英語：Pastoral care）及福傳確立新的方向以與現代社會交流。

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."
