What are the branches of theology?

The question is a bit general, so I will try to answer it two ways.By area of study:1. Biblical Theology. This is theological study drawn directly from the Bible.2. Historical Theology. Studies theology with respect to Christian history.3. Philosophical Theology. Studies theology with respect the philosophy or "reason".4. Systematic Theology. Attempts to combine Biblical, Historical, and Philosophical Theology to make a "systematized" understanding of various subjects.5. Practical Theology. Attempts to apply systematic theology to practical ministry. These might include education, missions, pastoral care, etc. B.By subject.Systematic Theology is broken up into several subjects. The number can vary, but here are ten to consider.1. Theology Proper. The study of God.2. Bibliology. The study of Bible3. Christology. The study of Jesus Christ4. Pneumatology. The study of the Holy Spirit.5. Soterology. The study of salvation/redemption6. Angeology. The study of angels (and demons)7. Hamartiology/Theodicy. The study of sin and suffering.8. Eschatology. The study of end times9. Anthropology. The study of man10. Ecclesiology. The study of the church There are other ways of categorizing Theology as well.Another way would be Models of Theology. These might include Arminian, Calvinish, Postmodern/Emergent, Catholic, Liberation, Liberal, Neo-Orthodox, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Charismatic, etc. theologies.


What is difference between theology conversion and santification?

Almost any word in the English language that ends with "ology" can be translated to "The Study Of". Words like Geology (study of the Geo, or Earth), Oncology (study of Cancer or Tumors), and Theology (the study of Theos, or things of God). Theology, therefore, is the study (knowledge) of things involving God, divine things, and/or religious truth. Whereas, Sanctification is to make something (or oneself) holy or set apart. You would/could Sanctify yourself and emerse yourself in the Theology of God. In effect, you would be setting yourself aside (apart) and studying the many facets of God, divinity, and religious truths. You 'can' study about God without the Sanctification, and you can be Sanctified without completing any (or much) Theology. They both are separate, but should/could be used together. The Bible states; "Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10


What is Freudian theology?

Freudian theology melds Freudian psychology with religious beliefs to explore how psychoanalytic concepts can be applied to understanding spirituality, religious experiences, and the nature of faith. It focuses on the unconscious mind, human behavior, and the role of symbols in religion in interpreting religious beliefs and practices.
