Theology
Theology is reasoned discourse about God or the gods, or more generally about religion or spirituality.
Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (philosophical, ethnographic, historical) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any of a myriad of religious topics. It might be undertaken to help the theologian
- understand more truly his or her own religious tradition,
- understand more truly another religious tradition,
- make comparisons between religious traditions,
- defend a religious tradition,
- facilitate reform of a particular tradition,
- assist in the propagation of a religious tradition, or
- draw on the resources of a tradition to address some present situation or need, or for a variety of other reasons.
