Theology today

Catholic Church. Commissio Theologica Internationalis

"Theology Today addresses the vital question of what exactly is Catholic theology. It considers basic perspectives and principles that characterize Catholic theology and offers criteria by which diverse theologies may be recognized as authenticaly Catholic. The major themes are listening to the Word of God, abiding in the communion of the church, and giving an account of the truth of God. Many topics are considered, such as faith's response to God's Word, the study of scripture as the soul of theology, fidelilty to the Apostolic Tradition, attention to the sensus fidelium, responsible adherence to the ecclesiastical magisterium, the companionship among theologians, the rationality and unity of theology, theology as science and wisdom, and theology's place in the university and its role in the church's constant dialogue with the world." - cover.
