Sažetak
In this text the author tries to describe Fran Barac's theological thought as an original theological model. After a short analysis of the model within theology, the author brings out the main characteristics of Fran Barac's theological model, which talks about the importance of apologetics, theology assignments and characteristics of theological method, which should be either traditional and analytical or progressive, synthetic and contemporary. According to the author, the novelty in Barac's model is that he thinks that the theological model has to be contemporary and has to change continuing tradition all the time.
At the end of his work, the author presents a very interesting illustration of a discourse that took place in Croatia at the beginning of the last century about Barac's study On Modern Catholic Apologetics. It reveals the fact that certain groups within the Church had a negative attitude towards Barac's study. In conclusion, the author suggests that Barac's model should be called 'a synthetic model' or 'a contemporary synthetic model'. He also points out that Barac has made a detachment from traditional as well as modem theology and tried to bring the two models closer to each other.
