On the Critical Science of Theology (original) (raw)

The article explores the nature of theology as a science, emphasizing that its norms are established through practice rather than pre-existing criteria. It engages critically with the views of prominent theologians such as Karl Barth and Friedrich Schleiermacher, asserting that theology occupies a unique space in academia that resists being subordinated to the standards of other sciences. The discussion further highlights the importance of theological reflection in congregational activities and asserts the need for continued dialogue in defining theology's role within the university context.
