A study of the linguistic model of rational theology

Despite the serious attention of Western philosophers to the language of religion, which occurred after the linguistic turn, among the topics of Islamic theology, independent research has not been formed around the linguistic model of Islamic rational theology. However, the linguistic model used by theologians is a determining factor in explaining, proving and extracting theological issues and problems.In fact, the imaginary and affirmative bases of the theologist about language, meaning, truth, certainty and such things determine the type of him encounter with the text. The main issue of the present study is dedicated to this issue. In a general division, linguistic models are divided into traditional and modern categories. According to the historical evidence and proofs in Islamic theology, the linguistic model of Islamic theology is more in line with the traditional linguistic model.The traditional linguistic model, despite its comparative advantage over a period in the history of theology, is unable to explain many theological issues.
