"Theoglogy" has two root words in it: 1) Theo: God, and 2) Logos: word or rational expression. So Theology can be thought of as rational expression of truths regarding God. A formal definition is "The discovery, systematizing, and presentation of truths about God (and truths about Creation in the context of the truths about God)"
