The challenge of fundamental ecclesiology for the present-day is to move on from the words, expressed during the Second Vatican Council concerning the self­‑presentation of the Church, towards the structural transformation of Christian communities and also of the communities of local churches. The aim of the article is to find appropriate impulses and the logic of ecclesial transformation within the framework of an interdisciplinary reflection which occurs between theology and social sciences, herein represented predominantly by relevant concepts derived from the theories of social organization and the so­called theory of complexity. The starting point of this article is found in the thinking of Etienne Wenger, an author of social organizational theory. His thoughts, presented through the framework of communities of practice, offers a heuristically fruitful project for the structuration of ecclesial communities based on "The People of God" category, a theological category rediscovered by the Second Vatican Council.

One of the most significant appeals that Pope Francis has brought to the life of the Catholic Church is the call for a synodal transformation of the Church. Such a concept of the Church is closely related to what “catholicity” means as a characteristic of the Church. The article, therefore, analyses selected documents of the Second Vatican Council dealing with the catholicity of the Church and analyses the catholicity of the Church based on the synodal concept of the Church (the Church as communio ecclesiarum). The methodology of a “transversal reading” of conciliar documents shows the not‑yet‑fulfilled potential of the effective reception of the teaching of Vatican II. The text consequently aims to set out several key topics on how to develop the future of Catholic ecclesiology.

This paper focuses on a new method of fundamental ecclesiology. A call for a renewed method in this field has found its roots not only in the event of the Second Vatican Council but also in the ecumenical movement, in the historical consciousness and in a new shape of presenting the Church as a “faith space”. Therefore, in the paper, first I`m trying to show the limits of a “controversial theology” and its method of defending the Catholic Church. Then I discuss how progress in the field of the philosophy of knowledge undermined a rethinking of method in ecclesiology. Finally, I propose some principles for a renewed method of the fundamental ecclesiology. These principles lead us in front of the important question about forma ecclesiae, i.e. the relevance of studying crucial Church structures in their historical development. Such an approach will help us to discover clear foundations on which a systematic ecclesiology could and should be built.

This article aims to deepen the interdisciplinary reflection on both the act of faith and the Christian identity. The starting point is the contribution of the Italian theologian Pierangelo Sequeri (b. 1944), who theologically analyzes the deepest human interior called by him ‘the believing consciousness’. After presenting briefly his theory I will argue that the solution to this question needs to be broadened. The call to this task comes to us from the field of cognitive neurosciences. Its findings lead us to overcome a still present hidden dualism in understanding a human being. I am here seeking to analyze the theory called embodied cognition understood as an enlarged description of human consciousness. Finally, this approach makes possible to obtain a more realistic description of the concept of human habitus and its complexity.

The goal of this article is to contribute to current theological reflections on the category in which the Second Vatican Council describes the historical development of the Church: the Living Tradition. In dialogue with the social sciences we attempt to explore this Church existence in its openness as unsaturation of its present form. The interest in perceiving the Church as an open system and as an emerging structure is supported by both the theological view and the social sciences view. The social sciences point out the need for coherent cooperation between the human factor and the products of reification, which form the tradition of every intersubjective community of people united by common interest. This openness of the Church, of its life and of the theological reflection outlines a new direction in thinking about the Church’s service to humanity in its role as the sacrament of salvation for the entire world.

This article aims to present Edward Farley‘s book entitled Ecclesial Man: A Social Phenomenology of Faith and Reality to a Czech theological audience. The book by this American Protestant theologian is a result of his efforts to create a "phenomenological theology" that expresses itself as a fundamental theology about the Church and provides solid prolegomena to the study of systematic ecclesiology. For our postmodern and post-Christian society, Ecclesial Man provides an outline of Christianity as a singular pre-reflective reality of the church inter-subjectively constituted and reflects how this reality is uniquely related to the existence of human beings and to the salvation of human authenticity and finality. The book therefore offers an opportunity and impulses for a deeper reflection and self-understanding of the Church as a sacrament or as "sign and instrument of the inner union with God and of the unity of the whole human race" (LG 1).

In this article I discuss the contribution to Christian thought by one of the most original Catholic theologians of the secondhalf of the 20th century, the late Johann Baptist Metz. I am seeking to highlight four main axes that are widely present in Metz`s thought. My aim is also to show how these axes are still present in modern Christian theology. To achieve these objectives, I briefly discuss a) Metz`s christology as it bears on b) his debate of human historicity. I further discuss c) Metz`s call for a ‘radicality’ of Christianity. All these dimensions of his thought are relevant for a heuristic d) rethinking of the issue of hope and its challenges for future Christian mission in and for the world.
