Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the use of models in contemporary theology. The first part of the considerations concerns the methodological issues of organizing knowledge in the form of models. Particular attention was paid to the similarities and differences between theology and other sciences. The second part of the article relates the general considerations to specific types of theological models. In turn: models of the Trinity, soteriological models and the nuptial model have been characterized from the perspective of their methodological challenges. The conducted analysis made it possible to notice both the advantages and limitations of the use of these models in theology, seeing, however, the potential for development. Their comparison also provided an initial perspective of responding to the methodological challenges of contemporary theology - primarily in the aspect of organizing and expressing theological knowledge.
