Aims & Scope

Studia theologica is a major peer-reviewed academic theological quarterly in the Czech Republic published since 1999 in co-operation of four Czech and Slovak theological colleges: St. Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology of Palacký University in Olomouc, Faculty of Theology of University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Catholic Theological Faculty of Charles University in Prague and Theological Faculty of University of Trnava in Bratislava. In the journal’s scope are all major disciplines of Theology and Canon Law, such as biblical studies, systematic theology, pastoral theology, ecumenical studies, church history, etc., but many articles follow an interdisciplinary point of view, addressing religious, philosophical, psychological, sociological, and cultural studies as well as the dialogue between science and religion. Contributions are accepted in Czech and Slovak language. All submissions are anonymously peer-reviewed by the two referees. Each issue also includes reviews of recently published books in theology and religious studies, mostly from Czechia and Slovakia, but also from other European countries.
