THEOLOGY: ITS DEFINITION, METHOD AND PLACE IN THE MODERN WORLD

This article presents theology in three aspects: definitions, methods and places in the modern world. The definition is derived using the statements of the ecclesiastical Magisterium. A reflection on the method is based on some selected academic publications and the ecclesiastical Magisterium statements, too. The basis for a brief reflection on the place of theology is J. Ritter’s thought and the statement of the ecclesiastical Magisterium (“Gaudium et Spes”). The article is addressed to both theologians and the representatives of other sciences.
