At a retirement it is natural to have the past in front of you, in particular as a historian. But contrary to what we normally think – that we have the past behind us and the future in front of us – all of us in reality look at the future through the past. What we see is not what will happen but what has happened, and, moreover, as interpreted by our experiences of what has happened earlier. The past has not only made us to who we are, but also tells us what we see. Studying the past, both our own and others', is the only way to grasp what is happening and to get to know and understand one another. The past shows us our differences, not, as we often think, what unites us. This we need to find out. As a church historian, I have realized that the image of the church as a tree with a common root and branches that eventually divide us is historically false. The history of Christianity rather reveals there is a constant ongoing process of unification in which differences and divisions constantly emerge from the periphery, often from changing circumstances, and that they gradually become assimilated. Thus what is common is rather a goal than a beginning.

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.

The article discusses a recent text by Mårten Björk about the relationship between academic and confessional theology. It seeks to problematize and nuance the historical narrative that supports Björk's arguments. In particular, the article focuses on Björk's reading of Friedrich Schleiermacher. It examines the development of scientific theology and the science of religion in the nineteenth century and shows how this was apologetically motivated. Lastly, it argues that the main challenge facing academic theology today is the task of developing a mediating position which cannot be reduced to the purely confessional or non-confessional.

In this text, I develop my earlier argument on the possibility of a non-confessional theological inquiry, and hence an intellectual practice devoted to the classical theological problems that begin with reason rather than faith, at secular universities in Sweden, a country with no state church and many different religions and denominations. I answer the criticism against this tentative proposal by returning to Rudolf Carnap's discussion of Friedrich Gogarten's theological tractate Die religiöse Entscheidung (1921). The logical positivist was amazed that Gogarten was so boldly staking out a new area of reality, and he wanted to know how he could see what Gogarten saw. "Gogarten can rightly say that I am blind", Carnap wrote, and "my non-seeing would not be an objection for him, but would only show that I am not (yet) one of the elect". But Carnap continued by stating that this would lead to a relativistic outcome that he could not assent to due to his "belief in reason" (Vernunftglaube). Accepting Carnap's criticism of relativism but deconstructing the difference between what he called the question (die Frage) and the puzzle or mystery (das Rätsel), I show how theological questions still emerge in the sciences and that there is a link between questions and mysteries. Insisting that Carnap's own belief in reason is a good indication of the relation between die Frage and das Rätsel, and hence between science and what the logical positivist would describe as metaphysics, I argue that systematic theology not only has a prominent and vital role at a secular university, as the science that investigates shapes and discusses theological discourses wherever they appear. It also asks (and might even give tentative answers to) the problematic question of the truth of these discourses, since I show that Carnap's, ultimately Diltheyan, attempt to differentiate understanding (verstehen) from explanation (erklären), cannot hold. Theology is, in this sense, not only an attempt to describe and explain how different religions think. It is also a critical and philosophical discussion of these thought systems' meaning and truth content. Theology thereby reminds the university of the interconnection between science and mystery, truth and meaning.

In this article, Mårten Björk's distinction between two rooms of academic and spiritual practice is problematized from the perspective of a basic recognition of the importance of Björk's contribution. If there is a need to emphasize critical authority as fundamental for academic activities in the university, as Björk claims, the problem discussed in this article is that critical authority never comes in any clean och absolute form. Different disciplines may have slightly different understandings of the critical tasks and offer different perspectives on what is more or less fundamental in the production of knowledge. These are often competing in an academic context where the disciplinary traditions are clashing and the material resources are sparse. Hence the academy is at best agonistic in its critical endeavour. It is furthermore argued that theology is very well equipped to put forward perspectives that pinpoint this basic weakness in all practical context where production of knowledge is at hand, since theology has itself been deeply questioned in its ambitious project of grasping for the ultimate.
