Teologia

 

Fundamentálna teológia

 
 

Fundamentálna teológia (theologia fundamentalis) je súčasť systematickej teológie ktorej predmetom je skúmať vieru v Krista na základe rozumových argumentov. Zaoberá sa otázkou: „Prečo veriť?“

Viera neodporuje snahe rozumu pochopiť, preto sám rozum má veľké miesto pri spoznávaní Zjavenia, hoci rozum musí v istej chvíli priznať, že Zjavenie ho presahuje.

Rozdeľuje sa na:

  • rímsku školu (Božie zjavenie skúma bez rozdelenia)
  • nemeckú školu (propaguje delenie obsahu: teológia zjavenia, základná kristológia, základná ekleziológia)

Bez fundamentálnej teológie by sme nemohli odpovedať na to, prečo vlastne veríme. No štúdium teológie musí kráčať ruka v ruke s meditovaním toho, čo skúmam. Intelektuálne štúdium nestačí, pretože takýto systém sa úplne vymyká cieľu a zameraniu teológie.

 

 

intelektualne studium a meditacia

 

Podľa Augustína je teológia veda podávajúca to, čím sa spásonosná viera rodí, živí, obraňuje, posilňuje a zachováva.

 

Podľa Hansa Künga je teológia učenie o Bohu, ktoré by v prípade absolutizácie pritakávacej teológie (afirmatívnej teológie), t. j. bez zápornej teológie (negatívnej teológie), robilo Boha výtvorom nášho rozumu, projekciou našej fantázie, ba viedlo napokon k modloslužbe[2]

 

Teológiu možno rozdeliť na mnoho odborov z rozličných hľadísk. Toto rozdelenie sa venuje akademickým odvetviam teológie v kresťanstve:

impoverish
im-ˈpäv-rish
VERB
impoverished; impoverishing; impoverishes
  1. to make poor
  2. to deprive of strength, richness, or fertility by depleting or draining of something essenti

Spiritual Theology is a rare book. In it, Simon Chan surveys the little-explored landscape where systematic theology and godly praxis meet, highlighting the connections between Christian doctrine and Christian living and drawing out the spiritual implications of particular aspects of systematic theology. Allowing rational formulations to drop into the background, he brings the mystery of the faith to the fore.

Chan begins with the principal doctrines of God, sin, salvation and the church. He then progresses to a reflective consideration of the practice of the spiritual life, from prayer to spiritual direction. Unabashedly evangelical and truly ecumenical, Chan grounds his exploration in the sources of the Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox traditions. His work is well abreast of contemporary theological currents and crossculturally conversant from an Asian perspective.

Spiritual Theology is a book for those who care deeply about theology and spirituality, and strive to integrate the two. It is well worth careful reflection and prayerful reading.

 

 

According to St. Thomas, theology is the study of God and all things in relation to God (see Summa Theologica I, q.1, art.3, ad.1). Spiritual theology is integral to this disciplined exploration into the saving truth revealed by God, preached by the Church and known by faith.

 

 

In Spiritual Theology Father Jordan Aumann dispels the common misconception that ascetical and mystical theology is for the select few.

He reminds us that "the real purpose of the study of the spiritual life is not to produce scholars but

to form holy Christians."

Basing much of his work on St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John of the Cross, and St. Teresa, Father Aumann proves that

Christian perfection consists especially in charity,

a charity richly rewarded in spiritual graces.

He presents the most complete and systematic treatment of spiritual theology since Vatican II.

Comprehensive in scope, it meets the needs of seminarians, professors of spiritual theology, spiritual directors, and retreat masters. This classic will also appeal to the educated reader seeking a richer and fuller spiritual life.
