AbstractThe book begins with three very brief chapters that collectively introduce the work as a whole. I aim to hold together three very different audiences: analytic theologians and philosophers of religion, other academic theologians, and scholars of religion. I want to build bridges across the various intellectual gaps that currently divide them. Chapter 1 introduces analytic theology and attempts to distinguish it from related forms of inquiry. Analytic theology uses analytic philosophy to elucidate the meaning, coherence, and truth of Christian doctrines. This form of inquiry is valuable because the questions it asks are intrinsically important. For analytic theologians, though not for everyone, analytic theology is also fun. I outline the argument of Part II, which considers the nature of analytic theology and analytic philosophy in more depth.
