Abstract

This article deals with the examination of the basic features of Christian theology, theologians and catechists. The author analyzes the testimony of the Church Fathers, that the true theology can have its origin only in God. Theologian can express the true theology only when he stays in the living communion with God, in which he comes through carrying the Cross of Christian asceticism and the struggle with sin and the passions. To achieve the true theology and good catechesis is therefore necessary to focus on prayer, making acts of faith, restraint, spiritual alertness, sobriety, vigilance and constantly checking the thoughts, desire and action.
