    The document discusses the relationships between philosophy, science, theology and other disciplines. It provides diagrams showing how each interprets reality through different means. Philosophy uses human reason and logical reasoning. Science uses the scientific method based on experimentation and senses. Theology interprets reality by asking essential questions guided by human reason but goes beyond human understanding. The document also discusses three styles of doing theology described by Gerald O'Collins: the academic style pursues new knowledge through research; the practical style aims to promote justice; and the contemplative style aligns with prayer and spiritual traditions.

    points, terminologies, methods and systems.

    explanations and predictions about the universe

    Experimentation

    THEOLOGY Interpretation of

    Gerald O'Collins
    Academic Style
    - Through research, hard
    thinking and serious
    dialogue with academic
    colleagues in other
    disciplines, this type of
    doing theology pursues
    fresh knowledge and fresh
    insights.
    The Practical Style

    The Practical style aims at


    promoting justice and the
    common good, concerned
    with the struggle against
    the massive injustice
    found in the world.
    The Contemplative Style

    This third style of


    theology aligns itself with
    persons at prayer. This
    style considers the
    traditions, past and
    present, particularly
    prayer, icons and
    architecture.
