Lay Theology

Lay theology refers to the understanding and practice of religious beliefs by everyday believers, rather than clergy or scholars. It involves how regular people interpret, live out, and apply their faith in daily life, guided by personal insight and community experience. Lay theology emphasizes that all believers participate in contemplating spiritual truths and seeking a deeper relationship with the divine, contributing to the life and growth of their faith community. It highlights the importance of personal reflection and shared practice in shaping one’s understanding of God, morality, and religious teachings outside formal clergy or academic settings.
