I am sympathetic to the impetus behind both Analytic Theology, the volume (Crisp and Rea 2009), and analytic theology, the wider movement.1 I agree that it would be a good thing if more theologians and scholars of religion were familiar with analytic philosophical theology and more at home with the analytic style of inquiry. There are, of course, some theologians and scholars of religion who would vehemently disagree. But I suspect that there are at least a few in the middle-those who could be persuaded of the value of analytic theology but who are not persuaded yet. With that in mind, I have tried to put myself in the place of such people and imagine what I would like to see in my own ideal second volume of Analytic Theology, a volume that aimed at continuing the conversation launched in volume 1. What issues would someone who is persuadable but not persuaded most need to see addressed? No doubt they are many, but in my view, the following five questions are the most critical. © 2013 The Author.
