TEOLOGIJA: PRIVILEGIRANO MJESTO VJERE
THEOLOGY: THE PRIVILEGED PLACE OF FAITH

Summary/Abstract: The article reflects on theology and theological work as a place of living, reflecting and communicating faith. The first part points to the misunderstandings of theology that are based on the reductionist understanding of faith. Faith always begins with God’s relationship to man. Theology is, therefore, as a place where the revealed truth is communicated to man, by its nature, a place of God’s presence. The second part speaks about the interaction of faith and theology, specifically about their mutual inseparability. Theology is always theo(s)-logy: it departs from what God said (says) about Himself in the history of salvation. This is the core of the third part, which considers salvation as the central category connecting faith and theology, experience and science. The fourth part deals with the issue of the very scientificity of theology, with special emphasis on the issue of method. The final part, through the question of who is a true theologian, provides coordinates for a more correct and as complete as possible understanding of theology and theologians.
