TEOLOGIJA U SUVREMENOM SVIJETU
THEOLOGY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD

Summary/Abstract: First of all, I briefly talk about theology as a science of faith and how pluralism in theology has come about in the modern (ie secular) world. Theological pluralism – the thesis I advocate – does not threaten the unity of faith. It is important for theology that there must be no contradiction between faith and reason, religion and science. In the secular age (1500-2000) there was a mutual exclusivity between faith and mind, religion and science, which is confirmed by the modern philosophical criticism of religion and many theories of secularization. Charles Taylor writes about secularization in a threefold sense: the secularization of the state and society, the secularization of individuals, and the secularization of social conditions. Secularization in the third sense is particularly important, which shows that today’s social conditions are not favorable to faith, that in today’s religious-worldview pluralism, faith is an option among other options. Theology as a science and as praxeology can take what is good and positive in the secular world and thus talk about God in a new way and contribute to the salvation of man and humanity.
