Christian theology is not only a part of spiritual-religious and mystical experience, but also a developed system of intellectual beliefs, a theoretical concept of knowledge and understanding of the world. Christian doctrine (teaching) synthesises philosophy, history, logic, biblical revelation, prayer experience of ascetics of faith and piety, cultural studies and religious studies. And, of course, all these doctrines (social teaching of the church, apologetics) are relative, they go their own way of evolution, development and integration into the multifaceted processes of human existence. We will conditionally note that the “evolution of Christian faith”, the “formation and development of the doctrine” of Christianity over time, directly come to the need for transformation of theological explanations and interpretations of many previous fundamental and most important concepts in dogma, history, canon law and even in religious ethics.
