Today it is more and more often underlined that the theology can no longer be merely intellectual analyse of the Revelation but should relate to specific living the Christianity. That existential dimension implies “aestheticization” of theology. Aesthetics and beauty in general belong to the area that may be described with strict logic-ontological categories (what is not easy), but on the other hand this area is inseparably connected to experience. One of the features of the contemporary thought, contradicting strongly the classical theology, is its anti-metaphysical approach. On the other hand, aesthetics is one of the categories characterizing the modernity. The nature of aesthetics, that is compatible with the ontological as well as phenomenological discourse, seems to constitute in such a context a natural environment, in which theology may enter in dialogue with the post- -modern thought in order to build a new form of theo-ontology, that would not break off with the great theological tradition and simultaneously would be compatible with contemporary sensibility and thought.
