The theology of the Cross (Latin: Theologia Crucis,[1] German: Kreuzestheologie[2][3][4]) or staurology[5] (from Greek stauros: cross, and -logy: "the study of")[6] is a term coined by the German theologian Martin Luther[1] to refer to theology that posits "the cross" (that is, divine self-revelation) as the only source of knowledge concerning who God is and how God saves. It is contrasted with the "theology of glory" (theologia gloriae),[1] which places greater emphasis on human abilities and human reason.
