| Summary: | This article explores the question of theology’s purpose and identity in relation to the Church and the modern university. Interpreting the development of theology in antiquity as a rational discipline, Zachhuber explores how, throughout Christian history, theology has served as simultaneously a stabilising and destabilising force in relation to the Church. The article ends with reflections on theology’s present condition in the university and asks how it might yet flourish in the years ahead in both its relation to the Church and to the modern university. |
