Modele myślenia teologicznego

Abstract

The article attempts to present the advantages of using models in theology in the context of contemporary methodological challenges. The use of renewed hermeneutics can help to reorganize theological thinking to avoid both treating the content of faith in a matter-of-fact manner and reducing it to personal experience. At the same time, fruits of this thinking can be presented in the form of theological models that are simplified representations of a more complex structure. They must not be overly reductive but as holistic, multifaceted, dynamic, and practical as possible. One of the important proposals is the nuptial model developed by Cardinal Angelo Scola. Using this model seems to be inspiring when applied to support, among other things, the correct understanding of sacramentology.
