Abstract
Recent three decades brought significant changes in theology in Poland. It has been prompted by institutional changes, such as the establishing of new theological faculties, but also by ecclesiastical and cultural transformations which occurred after 1989. The effect of the changes is the unquestionable development of theology resulting from responding to current didactic needs as well as those related to scientific status of theology. In recent years also the reforms of higher education have demanded some changes in theology. It appears that after some years favourable for theology today there is an urgent need for further strengthening of scientific status of theology, activating its ecclesiastic significance and answering new didactic and formative challenges. One of the major tasks is elaborating of appropriate list of theological journals and securing for adequate scoring given by the ministry, since the current list leads to the diminishing of the significance of systematic theology as a science about God and salvation, and by the same token to its marginalization in reference to other humanities.
