Morphology
The meaning 'the academic study or doctrinal teachings of Christianity' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'Christian' (relating to Christianity) with 'theology' (the study or system of religious doctrine). This ADJ+NOUN compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English noun modification, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Christian theology joins Christian (about Jesus and his followers) and theology, a word from old Greek that means 'study of God' or 'talk about God'. So Christian theology simply means the 'study of God' within the Christian faith, which is why it refers to the academic study and teachings of Christianity.
