Abstract
This article addresses the specific nature or identity of Christian theology. Its 'arguing partner' is that range of theological endeavours in which the particular context of a theological production is accentuated at the cost of under-valuing its necessary correlate, its Christian or 'catholic'character. This essay offers a justification for a concern about 'orthodoxy'. Christian theology should not abandon its connection with Christian doctrine, even though the boundaries of theology may extend further than the boudaries of doctrine.
