Abstrakt: | Theology as a rational reflection on God’s Revelation still remains in the service of
the faith of an individual man and of the Church, and thus affects the society and the temporal reality
of the world. Theology, by its very nature, must influence everyday life – in the first place
for the theologians themselves as well as for their students. In this way, the formative nature of
studying the sacred sciences is realized.
Formation therefore includes hearing the Word of salvation and its assimilation into life
which then leads to thinking and acting in accordance with the Gospel. Therefore, spiritual life,
especially prayer, the reception of the sacraments and participation in the everyday life of the
Church, is a necessary component of theology. This primarily concerns the lecturers of theology.
These goals can be achieved through the kerygmatic inclination of theology, openness to dialogue
and transdisciplinarity. For today’s world needs theology that understands the contemporary
thinking. At the same time, it is necessary for the graduate of theological studies to be well
versed in all areas of theology, and not to remain at the level of narrow interests and specializations.
This requirement of modern times demands that the Church takes a new comprehensive
view of theology, practiced in the community of believers and in the context of the increasingly
secularized world. It is time to return to the holistic vision of life, world and theology. |
