Origin:
The Greek word "dogma" originates from the verb "dokein" (δοκεῖν), meaning "to seem, to think, to believe." It initially referred to a personal opinion or belief, but over time it gained a more authoritative meaning.
In Ancient Greece, "dogmata" were opinions or doctrines propounded by philosophers, especially in the Stoic and Epicurean schools of thought. These doctrines were considered authoritative and were to be accepted without question by followers.
Later, in the early Christian Church, the term "dogma" was used to refer to the fundamental beliefs and doctrines of Christianity, which were considered to have been revealed by God and to be binding on all believers. This usage has continued within the Christian tradition, as well as in other religious contexts.
In modern usage, the term "dogma" can refer to any strongly held belief or principle that is unquestioned or considered infallible. It can also have a negative connotation, implying that a belief is blindly accepted and intolerant of dissent.
