چکیده

The aim of this paper is to prove the possibility of Application of the postmodern methodologies to theological studies. First, in a pathologist approach, it demonstrates why in the Iranian philosophical mentality using of postmodern methodologies in theology has been seen widely unaccepted. Then it defends the possibility of application of postmodern methodologies to theology by relying on an epistemological feature of postmodernism which accordingly postmodern theories gives their epistemological justification priority over their ontological explanation. And finally it explains briefly some of the most important postmodern theological theories in order to illustrate how, regardless to any justifications we probably provide to prove the possibility of this application, using of postmodern methodologies in theology has already been taken place successfully in this discipline.
