ABSTRACT

One of the major dilemmas in the modern world from the point of view of tradition and sacred science is theological modernism, which represents the intrusion of the secularizing and desacralizing tendencies of modernism into the heart of Christian theology itself. The loss of the supreme science or scientia sacra along with a sacred science of nature could not but affect theology itself, that “science of God” whose role it had always been to protect the citadel of faith. As a result, modernistic formulations of theology have appeared upon the scene which are far removed from the traditional theology of a St.Thomas or even Bossuet, not to mention that theology of the Eastern Church where the very term theology means no less than the indwelling of God in man.
