The article presents a discussion on the tasks and possibilities of theology, which in 1922-1925 was undertaken by Karl Barth and Erik Peterson. From different perspectives, they deal with the relationship of theology towards God’s Word. This is an issue that also remains relevant in our time and requires confirmation. Peterson rightly points out the need to include in theology the dogma, which is fundamentally rooted in the incarnation of the Logos, whose Church is an extension. The dogma provides certainty to theological statements. Barth’s lecture, especially the proposal to develop dialectical theology, can be read as an incentive to give theology a doxological dimension. Both theologians rightly emphasize that theology needs an anthropological starting point for that to be met with due interest.
