OBJECT, SUBJECT OF THEOLOGY AND ITS DISTRIBUTION WITH OTHER SCIENCES OF RELIGION

Consequently, at the present stage, confessional and non-confessional theology should be distinguished (historically the first form of non-confessional theology is philosophical theology). From theology, it is necessary to distinguish between other branches of knowledge, the object of study of which is religion, this is the philosophy of religion, which is a philosophical non-confessional discipline, which explores religion exclusively from the standpoint of philosophical rationality. This is a religious philosophy, which in terms of content, problem and language resembles theology, but the results of the creative activity of religious philosophers are not confused with the denomination as their own doctrine.
