A liberal theologian might be more interested in, say, exploring the correlation between the religions ethical claims and the ideas of some secular philosophy like existentialism. ) forms of correlation discussion will differ, however. The term theology can be used to denote any of these forms of correlation discourse, as well as the extreme which restricts itself to religious self-description; the term philosophy of religion will be used both for the opposite extreme and for many of the correlation forms of discourse; it is, however, more likely to be restricted to forms of correlation which give some form of priority to the secular discourse.
