The aim of the dissertation is to shed light on how the doctrine of justification and the idea of postmodernity as it is increasingly influential in our thinking, can be brought into conversation. It is of special importance pertaining to the fact that it is more and more difficult to articulate a Christian voice in the public arena. Theological argumentations are often treated with suspicion. Present Central-Eastern Europe needs a new orientation center, and the dissertation offers two things: first, a critical task for Christian theology as it is compelled to find new ways in dealing with challenges through the rediscovery of tradition; second, Christian theology from its own source should constructively be present in forming the life of the public, which is also a critical task. On the one hand, the doctrine of justification is the central element of Christian thinking. This centrality is present in the joint Roman Catholic – Lutheran declaration on justification in 1999. On the other hand, this doctrine presents such a metanarrative, which means the basis for understanding the human reality, and thus a possible way of evaluating the idea of postmodernity.
