Średniowieczna teologia cysterska, czyli theoria w służbie praxis
Medieval Cistercian Theology that is Theoria in the Service of Praxis

Summary/Abstract: In every age, theology on one hand grows from certain conditions of the era, but on the other hand it influences the lives of the Christians. Theologies of various periods are different in character, which is connected not only with the philosophical context, but also with the existential one. What is more, various theological models originated in different periods. One of the most prominent examples of this phenomenon is the medieval coexistence of scholasticism and monastic theology. A closer look at the monastic theology, which is less known than scholasticism, may provide us with some important indications as to the formation of such theology which would resist the domination of philosophical patterns of thought, highlight the experience and foster the integration of Christian practice with the content of professed faith. In fact, these aspects seem to characterize the Cistercian monastic theology, but simultaneously they constitute some kind of catalogue of disorders of contemporary theologies.
