The study of relationships between astronomy, cosmology, and theology; the attempt to understand divine creation through astronomical knowledge.
From astro- (star) and theology (study of God/divine matters). A historical discipline combining religious philosophy with celestial observation, popular in medieval and early modern Europe.
Medieval scholars used astrotheology to reconcile scripture with observational facts—when Copernicus showed Earth wasn't the center, it sparked centuries of argument, but ultimately deepened how both science and theology understood cosmic meaning.
