Lieven Boeve examines the place of theology in the university, the church and society. He emphasizes that theology certainly belongs to all of these three domains as it belongs to the nature of theology to involve itself in all three spheres, especially at the crossroads where they overlap.
Boeve discusses the recent document
Theology Today from the International Theological Commission which circumscribes theology”s place and task in the Catholic Church. Boeve discusses how the difficult relation between theology and philosophy is typical for a Church which has difficulty with the dialogue in today”s world; as well as examines the relation between theology and religious studies.
Going further, Boeve offers a reflection on Catholic identity today, focusing more specifically on education. He presents four models for considering the identity of Catholic schools in the light of the changed society and argues that dialogue in a context of plurality and difference can lead to new, fruitful ways to shape even the Catholic identity.
Boeve concludes his discussion with a short assessment of Pope Benedict”s papacy and emphasizes the need for the Catholic Church to convert itself before it can call the world to do the same.
