A scholar who maps the infinite, then argues about the scale.

means A person who studies the nature of God, religious belief, and doctrine as a scholarly discipline.

from From Greek theologia, fusing theos ('god') with logia ('speaking of, study of'), the same -logy ending found in biology or geology. The term passed through Latin theologia into English, picking up the agent-suffix -ian ('one who does') along the way — the same pattern that turns music into musician. So the word has always meant exactly what it says: someone who does the 'god-talk.'
