Summary/Abstract: This article is a polemical discussion with the recent attempts to define the nature and purpose of theology in Czech context. I critically examine the call to do theology rather than to think in theology as presented in the work of František Štěch and Štefan Štofaník. In contrast to these authors, I argue for theology as the practice of theoretical thinking, inspired by Jean Yves Lacoste, and propose that not practice but the lived experience in a philosophical reflection is the locus where the nature and purpose of theology is most clearly manifested.
