Summary

Analytic theology is sometimes said to be a research programme in search of a definition. What is it? A complete answer to that question might helpfully give some account of how analytic theology came to be – before considering what it is – and we shall do that presently. However, it is in fact fairly easy to give a preliminary working definition of analytic theology: it is an approach to the theological task that utilises the tools and methods of analytic philosophy. This will need to be finessed as we progress. But it will serve as a place to begin.
