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
This article focuses on the question of pious legacy in the testaments of the members of the Olomouc bourgeoisie. The main research problem of the thesis is the question whether the events of the observed period were reflected in the religiosity of the Olomouc bourgeoisie, how the pious legacies changed throughout the determined 100 years, what institutions the bourgeoisie gave preference to in their testaments and what were the sums bequeathed, whether the bourgeoisie tended to bequeath finances, or movable and immovable property, whether it cared about the use of the legacy and the specific purposes it would be used for. The question further is whether they tended to bequeath their property to Church institutions or to the poor, whether they wished to be remembered after their death and whether there is a significant difference between the testaments of men, and those of women. The article seeks to present an insight into the religious practice of the Olomouc bourgeoisie from mid 14th to mid 15th century in the context of the development of the town, and its events.
