Zusammenfassung:The theology and psychology "conversation" is currently constrained by a series of seemingly intractable difficulties, ranging from competing methodological commitments to assumptions about theological projects not being vulnerable to empirical verification or falsifiability. This article suggests that a thoroughgoing experimental theology has the capacity to move beyond a conversational paradigm in ways that current approaches simply do not allow, especially as it concerns an interdisciplinary understanding of what it means to be human. It suggests that Experimental Theology (ET) conceives of "conversation" only as a starting point for interdisciplinary projects; grounds theological theories empirically; and advances both psychological and theological research in new and substantive ways, and toward new ends.
