Abstract
In the philosophy of religion natural theology generally refers to the use of “natural” cognitive faculties (such as reason, sense‐perception, introspection, and imagination) to enquire into theological (and religious) issues, most centrally questions about the existence and nature of God. Commonly, natural theology rejects the use of any “non‐natural” means of enquiry, both non‐natural faculties (such as inspiration and mystical experience) and super‐natural sources (such as revelation, religious traditions, and convention). As such, natural theology is frequently set up in contrast both to “revealed theology” (enquiry into theological issues that accepts the place of revelation) and to “theology of nature” (enquiry into nature and the natural on the basis of particular theological convictions, such as the existence of a creator God).
