Teologi som sträng vetenskap?

Abstract

This article is written as a response to Mårten Björk's "Akademisk teologi som universell kunskapsform" in Svensk Teologisk Kvartalskrift 98 (2022). The article begins with an attempt to identify and describe what the author finds to be a unique quality of Björk's text as well as the deeper intentions of his argument. As a next step, it discusses the consequences of Björk's theological position, critically and constructively. The interpretation centres around questions regarding scientific methods, dominant notions of knowledge, and infrastructural aspects of the contemporary research milieu within the humanities.
