Theology and the silence in the face of the mystery of God
Journal Title: Sympozjum - Year 2019, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
Christian tradition, drawing its inspiration from the Bible, emphasises that silence constitutes one of the key elements of spirituality and the cognitive process in theology. Therefore, not only tradition but also today’s struggle with the „dictatorship of noise” call for a renewed justification of the need for silence. In this article we highlight the need for the return to silence in theology, since it provides the opportunity to grasp the dimension of the mystery included in God’s revelation and it helps us to open our ears to God’s voice and to get the correct understanding of it so that it would grow to love, contemplation and adoration. Thus, it is all concentrated around the most appropriate attitudes of man towards God.
