Theology is a study of [any] religion, faith and practices. It is considered a science with various branches of studies: dogmatic, practical, natural, systematic, liberation theologies.
Bible Study is strictly confined to studying the scriptural texts found in the Holy Bible only.
Peace be with you.

Theology- You get taught by someone on what the Bible says
Bible study- You study the Bible, what it says.

Bible study is a waste of time compared to reading the Universal Theology of the New Jerusalem by Emanuel Swedenborg.

Theology is the study of religion
Bible study is reading a book
Where someone gets the word authorized I have no idea

First of all, theology can be of any religion, whereas Bible study pertains only to Christianity.
Theology is study of religion in very broad sense, while Bible study is very special stream (just a part) of theology.

Theology is the serious study of religion. Bible Study is an indoctrination tool.

I think theology is the study of all aspects of religion and the history of religion. By all aspects I mean social, political etc.
Bible study is just interpretation of the bible, giving it the slant your particular sect puts on it. Hope this helps.

Theology: etymology: study of God....it actually focuses on God's characteristics but books for theology are written by men.
Bible study well is getting to´know God directly from his authorized book.

theology is closer to an "unbiased" study of religion: texts, culture...
not imposing their beliefs on what they are studying
bible study is someone who is a christian applying the bible to their life, studying the messages within.
