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
Looking at the Ecumenical Dialogue in the beginning of XXI Century, in this short essay come out some fundamental lines of ‘silence of hope’. In these liquid times we cannot find great achievements or historical turning points in ecumenical dialogue. This short essay will try to enter with ‘eyes of hope’ in the wound of contemporary society, looking for signs of hope in the light of Christ our hope. And in the ecumenical field, this essay wants to point some features of hope ‘along the path’, in order to draw some lines of a new ecumenical perspective ‘on the way’, made not of great brilliant achievemnts but of a new ecumenical awareness in sharing christian life.
