520 |a Theological progress occurs when explanations are contested, revised, and upgraded. But what are explanations? According to the physicist David Deutsch, an explanation involves the application of knowledge to a problem. The essay will present three models for the operation of explanations within the discipline of theology: the perspectivist, aesthetical, and teleological. Importantly, each of these models is correctable because of human fallibility and rational fallibilism. Avoiding the pitfalls of justificationism and unwarranted appeals to authority, the acknowledgment of fallibilism signals not only the humbling constraints on human endeavors but also the unbounded potential for improvement.
