| Summary: | Faith and science have been continuously portrayed as incompatible counterparts. This article argues conversely that scientific reflection on faith, namely academic theology, is not opposed to but essential for a Christian life. The contents of faith require precise description, as they constitute the Church community and can be even dangerous if unprecise or incorrect. In cooperation with other disciplines, theology contributes to ethical debates, such as the question of interhuman relationships and welfare of non-human creatures and future generations. |
