Bibliodrama - hermeneutická analýza

Bibliodrama - Hermeneutics and Analysis

Jaroslav Eliah Sýkora

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):1-18552  

Bibliodrama still belongs to one of less known and practiced approaches to the biblical matter trained at Theological Seminaries and Faculties (Colleges) of Theology. However, its contribution is undisputed. The submitted analysis aims to create a respectful place for it and to bring it to knowledge to those who have not found their trust in it as in a good working tool so far. This analysis elaborates the topic sub specie these steps: I. Bibliodrama in action; II. Comparison of Bibliodrama to the Greek tragedy - a) their methods, frameworks and features; b) their aims to win; III. Theology of the text and psychology of players; IV. Results won by...

Novodobý modernizmus - výzva pre kresťanstvo

New Modernism - Challenge for Christianity

Józef Kulisz

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):19-35412  

The article deals with the big challenge for Christianity - the challenge of Modern Days, the time that gave birth to a new type of man, a man who rejects religious concepts and adopts a vision of the world based on scientific discoveries, on new possibilities that science promises to the human race. It focuses on modernism and deals with the works of Feuerbach, Nietzsche, Sartre, and others. It is modernism - a non-exclusive philosophy - that created the new type of man who rejected the religion of revelation and accepted the religion of the Earth.

Kritika tomistického řešení vztahu Boží determinace a lidské svobody z hlediska dnešní analytické filozofie

A Criticism of the Thomist Solution of the Relationship between Divine Determination and Human Freedom from the Perspective of Contemporary Analytical

Petr Dvořák

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):47-53419  

The paper is a criticism of the traditional Thomist doctrine of physical premotion from a today's perspective. Physical premotion is supposed to mediate the divine influence on human will, seen in Aristotelian terms to be an active potency. It is to be a necessary ingredient in the overall analysis of human activity, for it reduces the will from the state of potentiality to that of actuality. The paper explores the logical and ontological relationships between an act of the will and the premotion to that act. If every act is to have a particular premotion of its own, then it is not possible for the will to resist it, which, in fact, jeopardizes human...

Východ Abrahamův z Kaldejského Uru. Nová interpretace

Abraham's Exit from Ur of the Chaldeans: New Interpretation

Roman Göttlicher

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):54-61661  

The article deals with the issue of Abraham's exit from the town Ur of the Chaldeans as it is traditionally interpreted in the Bible and suggests a new interpretation of this name. Up to now the town in question was supposed to be the town of Ur in the south of Mesopotamia. However, some experts placed this town in the north of Mesopotamia connecting it with a town of similar name. The author of this article believes that this narrative is based on the old tradition keeping alive the memory of the country from which the ancestors of Israel came. The author arrives at the conclusion that it could not have been the town of Ur in the south of Mesopotamia...

Kybernetika v mezináboženském dialogu. Její aplikace při zakládání Neve Šalom - Wahat al-Salam, jediného židovsko-palestinského sídliště v Izraeli

Cybernetics in Inter-religious Dialogue: Its Application by Founding of Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam, the only Jewish-Palestinian Settlement in Israel

František Mikeš

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):62-70432  

Cybernetics, as a science about information, can be applied in any system where there is a need to better describe its function and optimize its performance. How the vision of a Catholic priest of Jewish origin, Bruno Hussar OP, was supported by a cybernetic approach and introduced into the guidelines of a new settlement called Neve Shalom in Hebrew, Wahat al-Salam in Arabic, or Oasis of Peace, is presented in the paper. A cybernetics application was first introduced into theology by the dean of a clandestine theological faculty under communism, Felix Maria Davídek from Brno, Czech Republic. In the 1970's, some of his students studied in Israel and...

Osudy katolické církve na jihu Čech - péče o kněžský dorost a CMBF

History of the Roman-Catholic Church in Southern Bohemia - An Education of Seminarians and Cyrill-Methodius Theological Faculty

Martin Weis

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):77-81401  

The article goes back to 1950, when the state interference with the education of candidates of priesthood in Czechoslovakia under communist regime was the most severe since the times of Josef II. In June 1950, all the theological seminaries were abolished, and there were created just two general seminaries for the formation of priests by the Theological Faculties (Colleges) in Prague and Bratislava. The article describes the attitude of the bishop of the diocese of České Budějovice and reactions of students and state authorities. The study maps out one of the most distressful periods of the history of Roman-Catholic Church in Southern Bohemia based...

Byl císař Josef II. tolerantní?

Was Emperor Joseph II Tolerant?

Miloslav Pojsl

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):82-87586  

This paper (presented at the Ecumenical Council in Litomyšl on 15 September, 2002 to coincide with the European Cultural Heritage Days) analyses the reasons for the publication of the Edict of Toleration of 1781 which permitted other religions associated with the Reformation, such as the Lutherans and the Helvetics, and the Orthodox religion to exist beside the governing Roman Catholic religion in Austrian monarchy. Emperor, Joseph II, took this political and religious step only out of necessity, not because of Enlightenment tolerance, as is often wrongly assumed in our non-Catholic environment. Similarly, Joseph II was not against the Catholic Church...

Teorie vědy Tomáše Akvinského

Aquinas' Theory of Science

Tomáš Machula

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):36-46707  

The paper deals with the theory of science in Aquinas' work. Great attention is paid to the division of sciences and scientific methodology in Aquinas' theory. Aquinas shows his theory particularly in the commentary to Boethius' De Trinitate. His approach is based on the conception of Aristotle's Analytica Posteriora, which is wholly different from the contemporary one. Science is considered as a quality of human mind that enables to deduce some conclusions from introspective knowledge of the essence of a thing.

Hospic - miesto nádeje

Hospice - Place of Hope

Aurel Štefko

Studia Theologica 2003, 5(1):71-76447  

The scientific and technical achievements applied also in medicine since the beginning of the 20th century prolonged the medium life expectancy. Because of this, the scientists, physicians and all of society face new questions and problems, e. g. how to care for the terminally ill patients who completely rely on the help of others. The natural family environment that cared for the dying people in the past does not exist any more. The care for the dying was institutionalized in hospitals and asylums, and the dying thus became impersonalized. That originated the idea of the necessity of revitalization of hospices. There treatment of the dying is multidisciplinary...
