Jerusalem and Athens: A few historical and systematic considerations
regarding the position of theology at state universities
This article investigates the question whether theology as an academic
discipline should be accommodated at state universities. This question
proves to be determined by a complex constellation of historical,
philosophical, theological and political ~ssues. In an attempt to give a
systematic analysis and evaluation of these issues a brief historical
description of the relationship between theology and university is given and
the basic characteristics of a university and theology identified. Such an
approach seems to provide adequate considerations for motivating an
affirmative answer to the question at stake.
