AUC THEOLOGICA
AUC THEOLOGICA

AUC Theologica is a peer-reviewed journal for theology published twice a year. As we publish original papers in English, German, French, and Italian, our mission is to serve as a platform both for Czech researchers, who can present their research results in these languages, and for international contributors, who are invited to enter the academic theological discussion in the heart of Europe.

The journal focuses on a wide range of theological disciplines, such as systematic theology, biblical studies, patristic studies, pastoral and spiritual theology, religious education, church history, etc. Within these fields, the journal seeks to reflect the current theological questions and problems, which often requires interdisciplinary approaches. Supporting the intersection of various theological disciplines, we thus also welcome theological papers touching other academic fields including philosophy, sociology, literary studies, and science.

Each issue consists of two sections. The thematic section presents papers of the same focus. The section called ‘Varia’ invites papers dealing with various theological themes from the perspective of all Christian traditions. Our current and past issues are approachable for free on this website in the form of Open Access.

abstract

This study introduced ethical refl ection of the three Russian Orthodox thinkers who apocalyptically refl ected ethical questions of their era, in spite of the generation gap between them. Vladimir Solovjov, with his determination of the defense of the good, wanted to prepare the society of the 19th century not for the reception of an earthly prosperity, but for the recognition of the divine value of the Divine Kingdom. In the ethics Nikolaj Losskij is the fi rst to discover the theoretical-practical facilitation of the development of the Dark Power in the fi rst half of the 20th century. He also didn’t forget to invoke divine return to the ideal of the Divine Kingdom. Pavel Evdokimov, the youngest of the Russian writers under investigation, represented the new generation of the Russian emigres, who – in the culture of the different world – were looking for establishing his orthodox identity in the return to patrology. The starting point for his ethics is a new way of life in Christ, the metamorphosis in the Holy Ghost and the life of the liturgical-sacramental mission in the Church.
