Doctrine is a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a given branch of knowledge or in a belief system. The etymological Greek analogue is "catechism".

Dogmatics are a system of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

Background
