Philosophical theology is an approach to theology involving the use of philosophical methods to examine, analyse, and criticise theological concepts and theses.
Although sometimes presented as a branch of the philosophy of religion, philosophical theology is more often seen as a branch of theology, and includes but is not limited to natural theology (the branch of theology that attempts to use reason in order to demonstrate the truth of religious claims).
