Abstract
MAUTI, RICARDO MIGUEL. Contributions and challenges for the unity of theology in a plurality of methods and disciplines. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2022, vol.49, n.111, pp.1-19. Epub Sep 27, 2022. ISSN 0120-131X. https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v49n111.a11.
This article presents a journey through the theological methods of the 20th and 21st centuries, with their own characteristics and challenges. The plurality and unity of theology is one of the contributions that emerged from the Second Vatican Council, to whose impulse is due the renewal of the theological method and its vocation to serve the understanding of faith in a global and plural world. Nine methods are presented in four sections. The first section deals with the passage from the manual method to the historical method; the second section integrates the methods that represented a change of direction in Central Europe; the third section deals with the methods from the biographical-contextual aspect, and the fourth section groups the ecumenical methods. A final evaluation shows the opportunity to keep the theological work open to the plurality of methods with their corresponding unity exam self-tests.
