I know that the word "theologist" has the same meaning of "theologian", but I don't know how to read the first one. Could you help me, please?

Do you mean "pronounce?" If not, what?

Are you asking about the pronunciation of theologist?
It sounds very like geologist, with a th in place of the g.

The "th" is unvoiced, like the "th" in thick, think.

thee-'ah-luh-djist.

Do you know how to read IPA characters?
