Pojem pistis ve Stromatech Klementa Alexandrijského

The Concept of pistis in Stromata of Clement of Alexandria

Veronika Černušková

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):1-13554

The article discusses the concept of pistis as used by Clement of Alexandria. According to this author, human pistis (faith and faithfulness) has two stages: 1) voluntary hearing of God's "voice" and assent with it, and 2) intellectual grasp and practical realization of the believed message. This human pistis is at the same time fully dependent on the divine pistis: on trustworthiness and plausibility that attracts human belief, and on faithfulness that enables recognizing love as the peak and aim of human pistis.

Zrušení manželství in favorem fidei: Historicko-kanonická studie

The Dissolution of Marriage in Favorem Fidei: Historical-Canonical Study

Jiří Kašný

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):14-29974

The dissolution of the matrimonial bond in favorem fidei is a relatively new canonical institute to dissolve a legitimate, non-sacramental marriage in favor of faith. The study examines and comments on the development of the institute during the 20th century. It focuses on the substantial and procedural norms to complete the process for the dissolution of the matrimonial bond in favor of the faith on the diocesan level. The first norms were promulgated in 1934, the second revised version in 1973, and the latest norms in 2001. The historical-canonical analysis of the institute shows that the dissolution of marriage should not diminish the value of indissolubility...

Vzájemné uzásadnění ontologie a etiky

The Mutual Foundation of Metaphysics and Ethics

Karel Říha

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):30-40478

Metaphysics and Ethics as natural dispositions of the human being are - in a mutually opposite way - the expression of the transcendentality of human spirit. The transcendentality is, as such, not comprehendible by our conceptions. It can be demonstrated as unavoidable only by an indirect and negative argument, in that it is necessarily presupposed in each attempt of contesting it. But from this argument cannot be deducted any content of Metaphysics and Ethics. When we attempt a positive argument by the reflection of self-awareness or by the necessity of self-assertion, we fall in an endless regress. According to Kant, Ethics is grounded in the "pure...

Teologická interpretace pojmů morální řád, idea, pravda a bezbrannost u Emanuela Rádla

Theological Interpretation of Concepts of Moral Order, Idea, Truth and Helplessness in the Writings of Emanuel Rádl

Jan Samohýl

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):41-52506

The article is focused on the Czech philosopher and journalist Emanuel Rádl (1873-1942), especially on the interpretation of some essential concepts of Rádl's philosophy that are used in the context of Christian theology. Rádl's attitude to philosophy and religion is based on the intellectual background of his time. Rádl did not develop any systematic religious or theological theory. His approach to religion can be found in occasional notes in his writings. His understanding of philosophy (especially his concepts of moral order and idea) is more evident in the theological and Christian context. Rádl's vision of the world is derived more from Judeo-Christian...

Změny v pastoračních strukturách plzeňské diecéze: K zápasu církve v západních Čechách o (nový) život

Changes in Pastoral Structures of Pilsener Diocese: On the Struggle of Church in West Bohemia for a (New) Life

Michal Opatrný

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):53-63483

This study explores the process of changes in pastoral structures in the Pilsener Diocese. It briefly outlines the pastoral situation and the plan for pastoral structure change in the diocese and compares them with the theological concepts of pastoral structure changes in the German-speaking countries. It operates with the Czech concept of the dying Church (Oto Mádr). The author comes to the conclusion that 1. The current individual religiosity is not sufficiently accounted for; 2. It looks for the answers for the "signs of the time"; 3. The changes can succeed if they are based on the understanding of the Church as a collective subject of pastoral...

Ondřej Maria Petrů a jeho překlad Nového zákona

Ondřej Maria Petrů and His Translation of the New Testament

Ladislav Tichý

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):64-68750

Among the modern translations of the New Testament into Czech, the translation of Ondřej M. Petrů (1915-1970) occupies a very important place. Petrů was not a biblical scholar, but he took part in the preparation of the translation of the New Testament into Czech by P. Škrabal (1948) as a linguistic expert. During his stay in Rome, Petrů then reissued (in corrected form) the Gospels of Škrabal's translation (1951) and published his own translation of the remaining books of the New Testament (in two volumes: in 1954 and 1955). He further worked at improving his translation and published the whole New Testament in one volume in 1969. Although it appeared...

Vzájomný vzťah vedy a viery v dokumentoch Druhého vatikánskeho koncilu

Mutual Relations between Science and Faith in the Documents of the Vatican Council II

Miroslav Karaba

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):69-77640

This contribution is dealing with the question of mutual relations between science and faith in the prospective of the documents of the Vatican Council II. We can say that the 20th century signed a turn point in this field as the Christian-oriented scientists together with some theologians tried to overcome the dissatisfactory situation and started to compare, harmonize and interconnect the fields of their studies, it means the scientific and the religious ones. New approaches offered by the Council can be generally described as opened to the world, signed by an optimistic prospective and an endeavour for reconciliation. The affirmation of a justified...

Filozofie a náboženská zvěst

Philosophy and the Religious Message

Štěpán Holub

Studia Theologica 2005, 7(1):78-83577

The article deals with the relationship between philosophy and religious belief, in particular Christianity. It is a polemic against P. Dvořák and his view according to which there are logical relations between philosophy and the Christian message. The function of philosophy (and theology) is not to draw conclusions from factual statements inherent in the Christian message, since the key propositions of the latter are of a different kind (profession, parable, etc.) The nature of philosophical treatment of Christianity is hermeneutic as it searches for better understanding of the message. That in turn influences the content of the message without abolishing...
