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
After a period in which secularisation as an explanatory model – linear and teleological – became hegemonic in the social sciences, it became necessary to find other ways of accessing the sites of religious reconfiguration in the context of multiple modernities. In this situation, it has become crucial to bring the scientific gaze, at different scales, closer to the places where new relationships between the sphere of the religious and other social worlds are established, mediated by the displacements of the sacred. This article explores contemporary musical creation as a laboratory for discovering these new configurations.
