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 Qur’ān contains only fragments of Adam’s story in six different sūras, apart from several minor references. These may be arranged into five thematic chapters: (1) the creation of man; (2) adoration by angels; (3) Satan’s disobedience; (4) the fall of Adam; (5) Adam’s genealogy. The aim of the present study is to name the essentials of the Qur’ānic notion of man as a creature endowed with reason. Adam as the specimen of the human race is bound to obey God’s prescriptions. He fails, repents, and is received back and guided. In this way he is considered as the first in the row of prophets of God’s unicity. Adamův příběh v Koránu Koran obsahuje pouze fragmenty Adamova přiběhu v šesti různych surach kromě několika dalšich drobnych zminek. Sestaveny do pěti tematickych kapitol, představuji nasledujici naměty: (1) stvořeni člověka; (2) klaněni andělů; (3) Satanova neposlušnost; (4) Adamův pad; (5) Adamův rod. Cilem članku je pojmenovat zakladni prvky koranskeho pojeti člověka jako tvora obdařeneho rozumnosti, prvniho z lidskych pokoleni, vazaneho poslušnosti Božim limitům, selhavajiciho, litujiciho, proto znovu přijateho a vedeneho Bohem – v tom smyslu prvniho v řadě proroků Boži jedinosti.
