'''Scholastic Theology''' (also called "dogmatic theology" or "systematic theology") is an intellectual way of approaching God, developed in the Western church, and further developed in the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. It is a contrast to [[hesychasm]].
"Scholastic theology tried to understand logically the Revelation of God and conform to philosophical methodology. Characteristic of such an approach is the saying of [[Anselm of Canterbury|Anselm]]: 'I believe so as to understand.'
