Teologia jako nauka wiary, czyli scientia sui generis

Abstract

Theology in the encyclical Fides et ratio is understood as „knowledge of faith”, this means as a synthesis of two kinds of cognition, „rational” and „faithful” It is upon this assumption and in this sense that theology can be considered scientia sui generis. In theology the means to know reality are sui generis: mutual penetration of capacity for cognition through reason and through faith in connection with a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Definitions of theology are sui generis: for example – „human conversation on God, in which God himself participates” Perspectives of theology are sui generis: to transmit a living word about the living God to living man. This is the model of theology for – the future.
