To achieve those objectives, the activity will:

- highlight that function (developed in a special way in the two main chapters of any classical fundamental theology: revelation and faith) and its methodological consequences for any theology today;
- go into the thought of an author or a specific question in depth.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 reflect on the hermeneutical nature of theology, the relationship between theological and philosophical hermeneutics, the history and the challenges of hermeneutical theology.
