metadata.value: This article describes the problem of the possibility of natural theology, as it was
  understood in the discussion between Catholics and Protestants at the turn of the
  16th and 17th centuries. The topic is relevant because on the one hand, the category
  theologia naturalis by this time accumulated a lot of theological and philosophical
  values, and it is for some traditions a system-forming category that identifies the
  relation of certain concepts of early modern science. On the other hand, it formed a
  point around which arguments for and against fundamental decisions were built in
  the field of ontology, epistemology, anthropology, etc. Thus, the problem of natural
  theology, its possibilities, composition, and connection with the theology of Revelation
  (theologia revelata) is a fundamental factor in the development of confessional
  thought in the early modern period. In studying this problem, emphasis is placed
  on the ways to conceptualize the idea of natural theology, since this factor determined
  some strategy of argumentation, that a thinker chooses, justifying a positive
  or negative assessment of the significance of this problem. A special attribute of the approach is the consideration of how the problem of the possibility of natural
  theology was understood within the agenda of a specific strategy of theological and
  philosophical argumentation (in particular, in William Ames’ theological works).
  The approach allowed us to reveal an authentic understanding of the scope and
  structure of the problem of the possibility of natural theology, characteristic of authors
  at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as to describe ways to systematize
  various arguments into a single strategy for positive or negative evaluation of
  the phenomenon of natural theology.
