Is love (caritas) the heart of theology? The central question of this article is studied from three fundamental theological perspectives. First of them is revelation as revelation of Love, which is the principle of the Divine - human relationship. Second is human faith as response on revelation of Love and third perspective deals with the Church as community of love and charity. All three studied aspects points towards question if theology as such is the "sciencia caritatis". Theology is science not in the strict sense of the word, but in much broader perspective it can be true knowledge and wisdom moving the person towards concrete acts of love towards the others. True theology searches for ways how concrete love can be realized and true Love can enter the hearts of people.
