Dogmatic theology is that part of theology which treats the theoretical truths of faith concerning Go and His works, whereas moral theology has for its subject matter the practical truths of morality. Basically dogmatic theology refers to the official or "dogmatic" theology as recognized by an organized Church body, such as the Roman Catholic Church, Dutch Reformed Church, etc. At times, apologetics or fundamental theology is called "general dogmatic theology", dogmatic theology proper being distinguished from it as "special dogmatic theology". However, according to present-day usage, apologetics is no longer treated as part of dogmatic theology but has attained the rank of an independent science, being generally regarded as the introduction to and foundation of dogmatic theology.
