Theology
Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities and seminaries. It occupies itself with the unique content of analyzing the supernatural, but also deals with religious epistemology, asks and seeks to answer the question of revelation. Revelation pertains to the acceptance of God, gods, or deities, as not only transcendent or above the natural world, but also willing and able to interact with the natural world and, in particular, to reveal themselves to humankind. While theology has turned into a secular field , religious adherents still consider theology to be a discipline that helps them live and understand concepts such as life and love and that helps them lead lives of obedience to the deities they follow or worship. Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument ( experiential, philosophical, ethnographic, historical, and others) to help understa ...

Ethics
Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior".''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value; these fields comprise the branch of philosophy called axiology.

Religious & Theological Abstracts
Religious and Theological Abstracts is a database that indexes many religious and theological journals and other literature.

It covers "a wide array of periodical literature, including Christian, Jewish, and other world religions and some denominational and popular religious magazines." A guide to how to acquire documents for libraries stated that Because of the interrelationship between indexing and abstract services and the literature that they document, tools such as ''Religious and Theological Abstracts'' (1958-, Myerstown, PA), ''Religion Index One'' (1949-, Evanston, IL), and '' The Catholic Periodical and Literature Index'' (1930-, Catholic Library Association) often become de facto standards against which many librarians measure their collections.
