Abstrakt: | Epistemological question posed by interpretive practice in theology, requires a supplement
in the form of a covenant, which can be associated with the project of ontologization
known from the history of hermeneutics. This makes us realize that theological language,
understood as a system, in the technical meaning of the word, does not constitute a separate
and self-protective speech about God. Language is only a system of meanings that is referring
to itself. Its reference to reality, and therefore to the experience of God, is associated
with the authorizing role of the community. Even the sacred texts as well as textual (in
a narrow sense) testimonies in the Tradition, are not self-suffi cient elements which can be
deprived of their ecclesial and, because of it, experiential context. Otherwise, the Revelation
would have to be limited to information only. |
