Abstract
Theology has been a rightful branch of science for a long time. Obviously, it has its own specific character stemming both from its subject and scientific method, as well as from its specified ecclesiastical mission to which it remains subordinate. Theology is an entirely ecclesiastical science. Among other challenges pointed out by the theologians, theology has to show that it is a rightful academic discipline amid other sciences. It is acknowledged by its subject which is the mystery of God, as well as by its didactic function which consists in the transferring of the content which results from this mystery. Placing a stronger emphasis on its specific research character and on the modernization of theological didactics might support the scientific significance of theology. These very issues constitute the main subject of this article
