philosophical-theology
From the author
Philosophical theology — the use of philosophical tools to analyze and evaluate theological claims. Covers classical arguments for and against the existence of God (cosmological, ontological, teleological, moral, evil), the divine attributes (simplicity, omniscience, omnipotence, eternity, impassibility), the relation of faith and reason, religious epistemology, and the boundary between natural theology and revealed theology. Use when a query asks whether a theological claim is rationally defensible, how a divine attribute should be understood, or how philosophical frameworks across traditions have engaged religious questions.
