Theology Proper

Theology Proper

Theology Proper is the study of God in a Christian Trinitarian system, and includes the study of the Holy Spirit (Pneumatology) and the study of Jesus Christ (Christology). The term Theology (lit. 'God-word') is popularly described as 'talk about God' or God-talk, but is usually used in the generic sense to describe religious studies. Theology Proper may thus be considered the sub-discipline of theology which deals specifically with the being, attributes and works of God. As the Christian conception of God is triune, trinitarian theology is considered to be an undertaking of Theology Proper.
