Abstract

Today there are many attempts to appropriate the authority of the word theology. In this article we focus on etymological, historical and patristic content of this expression. We characterize theological clothing of the word theology after its receipt by the Church, we refer to the typical features of theology in social and historical context. We also point to the most serious hazards which may arise in theology. Finally, we present a trial division of theologies in the world today.
