Abstract
The crisis of enlightened modernity and the new configuration modes of culture and society, in part manifested by the rise of new rationalities, demand that theology exposes its contributions and its pertinence. With this in mind, this paper seeks to establish an approach to theology from its own epistemological statute (its own language, its scope, procedures, concepts...), so that it can be validated as a
knowledge by an academic community, as a coherent, systematic, methodical, hermeneutical logos that finds in symbolic language its best way of expressing the experience of Theos in the midst of human history. Within this context, theology –which goes through critical times– has to be able to define its permanence as a discipline and as knowledge, as much as the place it takes in the institutions of higher learning, where the validation of its condition of knowledge is at play, even though not in a definitive way.
