“I-thou relationship. Martin Buber’s term for a special relationship that is possible between persons when those persons relate to each other in a fully personal way and do not think of the other as an object to be manipulated or as a means to an end. Buber believed that such relationships make possible a different kind of knowledge of the other and that it is possible to have such a relation with God, who is the absolute Thou.”

“natural theology. The discipline that attempts to gain knowledge of God apart from any special revelation from God. Natural theologians have typically tried to infer God’s existence through theistic arguments such as the cosmological and teleological arguments as well as by reflecting on generic human experience. Catholic theology has traditionally affirmed the value of natural theology, while many Protestants, especially from the Reformed tradition, have been less enthusiastic about its prospects.”
