Theology?

Theology is the systematic study of the divine nature, as well as religious belief in general. It is primarily taught in universities and seminaries as an academic discipline. It deals with religious epistemology, questions and strives to answer the question of revelation, and has a distinctive content of examining the supernatural. The recognition of God, gods, or deities as not only transcendent or above the natural world, but also willing and able to engage with it and, in particular, to show themselves to people, is referred to as revelation. While theology has become a secular field, religious believers still regard it as a discipline that assists them in living and understanding ideas such as life and love, as well as leading lives of obedience to the deities they follow or adore. Theologians employ a variety of methods of analysis and argumentation (experiential, philosophical, ethnographic, historical, and others) to better understand, explain, test, critique, defend, and promote a wide range of religious themes. Arguments frequently assume the existence of previously settled topics, as in philosophy of ethics and case law, and grow by drawing analogies from them to make new inferences in new contexts. A theologian’s study of theology may enable them to better understand their own religious tradition, another religious system, or the nature of divinity without reference to any particular tradition. Theology can be used to promote, reform, or justify a religious tradition, or to compare, challenge (e.g. biblical criticism), or oppose (e.g. irreligion) a religious tradition or worldview. A theologian may use theology to address a current situation or need through a religious tradition, or to investigate other ways of interpreting the world.
