When confronting theology with other disciplines we are urged to specify its status as a field of knowledge which derives from its subject, i.e. the faith of the Church. Formerly, under the heavy influence of then unquestionable Aristotelian understanding of science and its division, it used to be very straightforward to find the right place for theology among other disciples. Nowadays, on the other hand, it is a much more demanding task for a theologian who has to confront other academicians. Therefore, more than ever, one need to reflect on the subject of theology, i.e. the faith, which determines its scientific status. The paper comprises of three parts: i) The Notion of Faith; ii) Communicating the Faith; iii) Theology as a Way to Communicate the Faith. The research is based on an analysis of the doctrinal declarations of the Church concerning the faith. The gift of the faith which comes from the Christianity gives courage when facing the secular world and does not allow to fall into despair when coping with its crises and the paths closed for the Gospel. Contrary to that, the faith enables us to confront the world and to communicate the most precious things we have.
