Abstract

This paper is an attempt to briefly describe how Christians of the last few centuries - immersed in a discussion with the philosophical culture of their time - tried to point out the proper place for revealed truth in interpreting reality. In response to the growing secularism of the modern era, philosophical projects were born (Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard) that, taking up the demands of their time, attempted to „run forward”, to establish a place for revealed truth in a new way that would help it elude critics. These philosophical attempts later inspired theologians (including Schleiermacher, Cullmann, Barth), who tried to translate philosophical ideas into concrete interpretations of revelation. In turn, all these discussions carried out mainly, though not exclusively, on the Protestant side, led on the Catholic side to the modernist crisis, which will eventually - thanks to the work of theologians from the circle of la nouvelle théologie (Congar, de Lubac) – be surpassed in the Second Vatican Council's constitution Dei Verbum. The paper presents the various elements of the development thus outlined, leading to finding the right perspective to appreciate the groundbreaking significance of Vatican II's Dei Verbum constitution.
