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 article aims at shedding light on the search for God in the work of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Rilke’s relentless search for God, who appears to be concealed (and obscured), threads through his entire work as a basso continuo and could be summed up into the motto of “searching for an immediate relationship”. The Christian tradition, to which Rilke has a highly ambivalent attitude, plays a crucial part in the relationship to God. The article considers the poet’s strong alignment to the relationship to everything terrestrial as an attempt to involve everything in the broader complex, also in the relationship to infinity.
