Marie-Dominique Chenu’s concept of ‟concrete and historical” theology

Summary/Abstract: The French dominican, medievalist and theologian Marie-Dominique Chenu’s (1895 – 1990) research work is among the most important in 20th century theology. His concept of “concrete and historical” theology is a response to the call for the renewal ofthe Church postulated by the Second Vatican Council. Chenu considers theology to be 'sui generis', in its essence providing the understanding of faith. He emphasises its historicity, justified by the Incarnation of the Son of God, owing to which history became the conveyor of God’s intentions and is continuously accompanied by Him. He perceives the apparent coextensiveness and coincidence of universal history and the history of salvation (historia profana and historia sacra). “Concrete and historical” theology is exemplified by Chenu’s reflexion on the significant events throughout the course of history – the signs of time. Theseare historical events marked with positive traits from the various areas of human life which when interpreted from the perspective of faith constitute the expression of God’s redemptive presence and His will.
