This criticism may also help theology to gain a more full, more penetrating and adjusted to the empirical knowledge of man about himself and the world and a better understanding of a credible thinking of God, as well a greater un-prejudiced research over the importance of history of Jesus of Nazareth for mankind and whole reality. This philosophical criticism is simultaneously an intellectual challenge for religion an theolo-gy. At least this is what a modern protestant philosopher of religion Wolfhart Pannenberg thinks, who’s point of view is being referred in this article.plArtykuł
