Esperienza e/o intelligenza della Fede. Un tentativo di Teologia-Liturgica Fondamentale

Résumé

Experience and / or Intelligence of Faith. An Attempt at the Theology-liturgical fundamental

Seeing and hearing/listening (videre et audire): these two paradigms appear in the prologue of Dei Verbum (1965). The Council's dogmatic constitution already puts us in the perspective of understanding the faith from the beginning and also proposes a form of transmission: to see, to listen, above all through the exercise of communion.

I propose to elaborate theologically, starting from Dei Verbum and starting from «seeing» and «hearing» (1 Jn 1,2–3), a theological perspective that also includes the liturgy to conceptualize faith not only dogmatically, but also on the experiential plan. But we must not forget that if God’s revelation is clear and active, we experience a great difficulty in «how to speak of God» in the concrete today of our contemporaneity.

Starting from these assumptions we list a fundamental theology-liturgical proposal from the experience of seeing and hearing (fides ex auditu) as a path to the experience of faith that leads to understanding.
