Teolog – zagovornik Boga i odvjetnik čovjeka

Theologian. Intercessor with God and Advocate of Man

University of Zagreb Catholic Faculty of Theology 2025

U članku se polazi od iskustva osporavanja teologa u Crkvi te mišljenja da je teologija štetna za vjeru i da je uopće beskorisna. Nakon fragmentarnog osvrta na značenje govora o Bogu u Novom zavjetu i razvoja teologije u prvoj Crkvi naglašava se važnost teologije osobnoga religioznog iskustva. Današnji teolozi imaju sličan zadatak kao i teolozi kroz povijest: da iz svoga uvjerenja i svoga konteksta, na nov način, zagovaraju djelotvornog Boga u osobnoj povijesti i povijesti svijeta. Istodobno su kršćanski teolozi vjernici u Boga koji se u Isusu Kristu očitovao posve za čovjeka, ponajprije za potlačene i grešne. Teolog je odatle odvjetnik čovjeka. Poseban naglasak u radu stavlja se na dijalošku teologiju, koja svoje utemeljenje ima u najtežoj Isusovoj zapovijedi ljubavi prema neprijatelju. To znači da je teologija govor o Bogu i čovjeku na Isusov način, dakle, uvažavajući tuđu, čak i neprijateljsku epistemologiju.
The article starts from the experience of contesting theologians in the Church and from the disseminated opinion that theology is harmful to faith and useless in general. After a fragmentary overview of the discourse about God in the New Testament and the development of theology in the early Church, the importance of the theology of personal religious experience is emphasized. Theologians nowadays have a similar task as theologians throughout history: to advocate an efficient God in personal and world history from their conviction and their context, in a new way. At the same time, Christian theologians are believers in God, who manifested himself completely for man in Jesus Christ, in particular for the oppressed and sinners. The theologian is hence the advocate of man. Particular focus is given to dialogic theology, which has its foundations in the most difficult commandment of Jesus - to love the enemy. This means that theology is a speech about God and man in the way of Jesus, that is, respecting someone else’s, even hostile, epistemology.
