Method of Theology

 

I. fontes inexhaustible

    DB 1800

 

II. Method is concerned with theology at the moment of development

            moment of increasing understanding

                                                science

                                                wisdom

    What is true of any moment is true of all.

            Hence method of theology [is] revealed in its history

                                                              to be applied in its future

 

III Sum of developments = theology as a whole at any given time

            hence indirectly concerned w theological doctrine

                        i.e., Method must be such as to assign series of developments that integrate

                        but method itself is concerned with moment

 

IV Change is concrete: abstractions do not change

                      personal, exsistential [sic]: it is an initiative of a responsible individual

                      historical: it is from previous sum of developments                

                                                to a fuller sum (adds ‘one’)

                      social: goes forward in church

                                                            judgment of theol

                                                            judgment of church

                      set of questions: that bring create [?] change

            Method indirectly regards object of theology – directly concerned with subject and his operations.
