Abstract

The article aims to present theology as ontic science and its relation with Philosophy or “hermeneutic philosophy”, according the contributions of the philosopher Martin Heidegger. Such proposal justified in view of two aspects. The first one is to explain the scientific dimension of theology in the set of ontic sciences. The second is to break with that view that philosophy is subservient to theology and to present it as partner in the condition of a "hermeneutic phenomenology". To achieve this goal, we will take a set   of works of Martin Heidegger that supports his philosophy or "hermeneutic phenomenology" which is present in his text Phänomenologie und Theologie. Then we will introduce Theology as ontic science and its relation to philosophy. The result will be the conception of science,   the onticity of theology and its historical, systematic, and practical nature. In this sense, the function of philosophy will appear as "ontological corrective” and the theological language ash a sort of some thinking and talking open to ontological existence of the Christian faith.
