Abstract

Undoubtedly the major event that occurred in Catholic theology of the past century is it the overcoming of neo-scholasticism. Author tries to demonstrate, that this change occurred within theology (and prepared by the constructive manner in the oven of debate with thought modern and by the interior reasons theology) cannot be satisfied with creating a conception of hermeneutical theology, following the consideration of theology as a hermeneutics of the Word of God, drawing the consequences of the phenomenology Heidegger's hermeneutics. Thus theology would be inseparably a hermeneutics of Word of God and a hermeneutics of human existence and would the theologian seek the intelligibility in itself of scriptural statements or dogmatic statements (their meaning for Today). Author demonstrates that this enhances the perspective of theology that engages to approach by his theological approach the very fact of the incarnation of Jesus Christ and the mystery of the Subject of God. This is indeed the conception of theology as a science, constructed and proposed by the masters of the Middle Ages with Thomas Aquinas in mind. So is it possible to search for again the role to be played for a theology as hermeneutics within theology as science with the concept of science as Verstehen?
