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 constitutes a brief response to the reflections of Kateřina Bauer, František Štěch, and Michaela Kušnieriková on helpful models of theological, moral, and spiritual discernment, emphasising that the meta-praxis of discernment is needed in order to theoretically reflect on diakrisis and its theological, spiritual, and moral aspects. The article continues with a couple of remarks on discernment in Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy. The article focuses on (i) discernment as the art of learning and listening; (ii) the practice of discernment as an ongoing hermeneutical re-reading of the past experiences and traditions; and (iii) false forms of discernment.
