With the increased impact of anthropology in the past decades, the place of theology has received greater attention in the academic study of religion. In different iterations of traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, theology is not merely another word for unthinking confessionalism. Rather, theology explores questions of value, truth, aesthetics, and practices of justice and peace that are critical to a more comprehensive understanding of the role and place of religion in late modernity.
