Teologia jako nauka poszukująca sensu, wolności i mądrości
Królikowski, Janusz (Wydział Teologiczny Sekcja w Tarnowie Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2013)
Theology has always required to have its raison d’ệtre justified. This was particularly visible when universities began to emerge, the reflection on a scientific method was developed and new fields of study appeared. Even St Thomas Aquinas understood the need to legalize theology as a science. He was very scrupulous about it and paid attention to the methodological coherence. Since a man has been seeking salvation the necessity for science showing the way towards it evolved as well. Despite the different cultural circumstances and the modified concept of a science a question reappears. If a contemporary man is as sensitive as possible, the answer should be provided together with the challenges that our faith is to meet. This article proves that the validity of theology can be done within three existential areas that a human being is interested in. These include searching for meaning, freedom and wisdom. It is absolutely true that we need a science which will help us reach this goal. Notwithstanding theology is the best way to accomplish it.
