Sažetak
In the article the author presents scientific bases of pastoral
theology as a theological discipline, which configures as a theoretical
and pastoral science. Pastoral theology is not only engaged with
ministering clergy, but also with the Church as a community of the
faithful and concentrates on Christian salvation focusing the material
object on church activities. The author also sets forth a formal object
of pastoral theology, which he observes through the analysis of
church events and considers them from the standpoint of faith. He
presents the past methods of pastoral theology and gives a critical
reference on them. In the end the article deals with a scientific
character of pastoral theology, which is founded on the principle of
Incarnation.
The author uses theological-pastoral method of so called
pastoral discernment, and at the same time discusses that method
in the article. He comprehends that, through the history, pastoral
theology suffered because the object and methodology were not
clearly defined. If pastoral activities aim at being effective, they are
bound to have a clear theological-pastoral implantation.
