A theologoumenon (Koinē Greek: θεολογούμενον, romanized: theologoúmenon, lit. 'that which is said about God'[2]) is a theological statement or concept that lacks absolute doctrinal authority.[3][4] It is commonly defined as "a theological assertion or statement not derived from divine revelation",[3] or "a theological statement or concept in the area of individual opinion rather than of authoritative doctrine".[4]
