A Theology of Analytic Reason

AbstractPart III calls for a more theological analytic theology and defends analytic theology from some common theological objections. Chapter 6 argues that the Christian doctrine of creation furnishes a warrant for analytic theology. The doctrine of creation gives us good reason to value theology as such, traditionally understood as faith seeking understanding. So the only real question is whether analytic theology counts as a legitimate way for those with faith to seek understanding. This question resolves into the practical question of whether analytic theology really can help us distinguish theological truth from theological falsehood. The answer to this question is: sometimes, but not always.
