Summary: | As intellectus fidei, theology is constituted as an intellectualisation of a faith that consists of a sharing in and a collaboration with God's salvational and liberational purposes for humanity and also of being at the intellectual and critical service of its historical dynamic. It is this visceral linkage with a liberational faith (faith and liberation), which makes theology a power for liberation connected to the broadest range of historic powers and dynamics of liberation (theology and liberation). Through this linkage, theology's intellectual specificity and essence of being a moment of faith are simultaneously affirmed. |
