'''Theology''' is a term first used by [[Plato]] in The [[Republic]] (book ii, chap 18). The term is compounded from two Greek words <i>theos</i> (god) and <i>logos</i> (rational utterance). It has been defined as [[reason]]ed [[discourse]] about God or the [[gods]], or more generally about [[religion]] or [[spirituality]].
