This article is about Patriology as a discipline in Christian theology. For patriological aspects of various gods and deities in some other religions, see God the Father. For other uses of the term in some social sciences and humanities, see Patriarchy. For study of the Church Fathers, see Patrology.
Paterology, or Patriology,[1][2] in Christian theology, refers to the study of God the Father. Both terms are derived from two Greek words: πατήρ (patḗr, father) and λογος (logos, teaching). As a distinctive theological discipline, within Theology proper, Paterology is closely related to Christology (study of Christ as God the Son) and Pneumatology (study of the Holy Spirit as God the Spirit).[3][4]
