Theology as the Art of a Perfumer

Summary/Abstract: This study interprets the phenomenon of the awakened sense for aroma in the contemporary culture and attempts to evaluate it theologically. In the first part it treats of the sense of smell and aroma in philosophy and of the causes of the devaluation of senses in the context of the Christian thought. In the second part it undertakes to name the ingredients capable of penetrating with their aroma not only the area of liturgy but also the main contents of the fundamental and systematic theology. The third part is dedicated to the analogy between aroma and theology with the scope of showing from the historical point of view the justifiability of the understanding of theology as “the art of a perfumer” (Ex 30, 34-36).
