기독교 신학개요(Outline of Christian theology)는 기독교 신학(Christian theology)이 다루는 전반적인 분야들을 말한다. 기독교 신학은 기독교인들의 신앙과 실천을 연구하는 것이다. 그런 연구는 기독교 전통뿐만 아니라 우선적으로 구약과 신약의 본문에 집중된다. 기독교 신학자들은 성경주석, 이성적 분석과 논쟁을 사용한다. 신학이란 신학자들로 하여금 기독교 교리들을 보다 더 잘 이해하도록 도와서 수행하게 한다. 그래서 기독교와 다른 전통들을 비교하고, 반대와 비평에 대하여 기독교를 방어하고 기독교 교회를 개혁하게하고, 그리고 기독교를 널리 전파하도록 돕는다.
건설주의 신학이란 조직신학을 새롭게 정의하거나 새롭게 개념화하는 신학이다. 일반적으로 조직신학자들이 시도하는 기독론, 종말론, 성령론과 같은 전통안에 있는 다양한 교리들속에 흐르는 고정된 이론(a coherent theory)으로부터 벗어나서 신학을 재평가하려는 작업이다.
