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 demonstrates a broader context of the renewal of lay Catholic liturgics in the Czech lands in the first half of the 19th century. The first section is based on a contribution by Jan Horsky and develops the theme of ‘the five phenomena of transformation’ in the long 19th century (1789–1914) with respect to general and Czech Church history. The phenomena of secularisation, re-Christianization, spiritualization, the disenchantment of the world and rationalisation are addressed here. The Roman Catholic Church searched for answers to these phenomena also with the aid of handbooks which were supposed to introduce laypersons to the basics of liturgics and related topics in an understandable way. The second section discovers theological connections of the publishing of liturgics handbooks within the sensus fidei concept. It distinguishes between the individual aspect (sensus fidei fidelis) and the ecclesial aspect (sensus fidei fidelium). The acceptance and high popularity of liturgics can be interpreted as a manifestation of the sensus fidei.
