description The paper focuses on the solutions to the crisis in theology. The author claims that the root of the problem is anthropocentrism of theological considerations. Theologians underline the importance of grace received by the human community. The tendency of such theology is o$en to ignore the importance of God’s action and to interpret the events connected to the resurrection of Christ in a symbolic way, as it is exemplified in the theology of Edward Schillebeeckx. The paper sees a needed theological conversion in return to Jesus Christ Himself; to His demanding words and example.
