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

The goal of the liturgical movement of the past century was more than a reform of worship. Its original intention was the renewal of the Church and strengthening of faith. Therefore, the question about the future development of the liturgy presupposes the question of the self-understanding of the Church. Arguably, liturgical innovations must follow the missionary orientation of the Church and its new ways of presence in the contemporary world. The liturgy must reveal the Church as a dialogue partner of the current pluralistic society. The liturgical celebration must be a place where the gospel is preached in such ways that open one’s individual life perspective. The Church needs such forms of celebration in order to invite people to come closer to the message of faith. If the liturgy makes a room for the integration of various life stories, it will be an essential enrichment for the traditional liturgy of the Church.
