The characteristics of modern religiosity and the responsibility of contemporary theologian

Summary/Abstract: The interpretation presented by us defines the complex dimension of the responsibilities of the contemporary social theologian. He, the contemporary theologian, has to express his pragmatism by the availability to acknowledge and to understand the challenges of the world he is living in, as well as his responsibility by finding of right answers to all these challenges. The theologian’s presence and purpose in the contemporary society have to be useful, constructive and generator of hope and confidence in the future. And this, in the current situation, in which the faith and the religious community represent, for the contemporary believer, an important sanctuary of hope and confidence, and the religious tradition is seen as a constant source of teaching, of authority and moral experience. The religious phenomenon is expressing itself in various ways, from the most conservatives ones, characterizing the institutionalized religious tradition to the most flexible and innovative ways of manifestation.
