dc.description.abstract |
Theology is just as relevant today as it was in the time of Aquinas who called theology ‘the
queen of science’ although the knowledge-driven network society does not seem to be in
agreement. By using the tools provided by the fourth revolution in the development of society,
theology can, as part of the academic world of higher education that is supposed to lead
society, strengthen ties with the past, seek explanations and solutions to current problems and
produce guidelines for future investigation through multi- and interdisciplinary discourse.
Theology can and should influence people to become positive change agents, re-shape the way
in which the message of salvation is brought to the world in order to stay relevant in changing
circumstances and be on the forefront of progressive transformation in society. This should be
achieved through constant dialogue with other academic disciplines, the Church as institution
and with society in general. |
