Theological Terms in German: General overview

Abstract

The terminological systems of different languages for Special Purposes (LSP) in today's multicultural and globalized world are becoming increasingly important, since communication in the professional field requires thorough knowledge of not only the field itself, but also the means of its expressing. The term as a unit of a particular terminological system is a tool for professional communication. The term Christian-theological terminological system clearly defines the sphere of functioning – units that define concepts and phenomena in the field of theology as the doctrine of God and the Word of God based on Revelation. The historical events of the 1990s, the legalization of the Catholic Church in the post-Soviet space contributed to the growth and spread of spirituality and made it possible to activate the church's public activities. At the same time, the process of introducing the discipline of "theology" at the state level was intensified.
