Theology proceeds from dogma, and dogma, dogma, in its primitive and most direct sense, signifies a decree, something akin to the Latin placitum, that which has seemed to the legislative authority fitting to be law.
Teologia dogmatik irteten da, eta dogmak, ??v???, bere adiera jator eta zuzenenean, "dekretua" esan nahi du, latinezko placitum-en antzera, agintaritzako legegileen eritziz, lege izan behar duena.
