- Title
Between Tradition and Modernity-- Dogmatic Theology's Correlative Task.
- Authors
Proniewski, Andrzej
- Abstract
This article reflects on tradition's relationship to the present by considering issues pertaining to dogmatic theology. Such a reflection makes it easier to understand the inestimable role of Tradition in dogmatic theology, which links the course of human history with salvation history. Each person regardless of the time or geographical location in which he lives is invited into the dialogue of salvation. Dogmatic theology correlatively conjoins the metahistorical truth of salvation as none other than the irreplaceable and only existential content that is proper to the mentality of the man of every era. The theological interpretation of existential matter cannot avoid the changing historical and cultural reality of life. A mutual relationship and interdependence exists between the theology of yesterday and the theology of tomorrow, of biblical theology and Tradition and the ongoing theology of life and signs of the time. This article describes (1) the lasting value of Tradition, (2) its timeliness during this time of anthropological upheaval, and (3) the problem of understanding today.
