Fiedler, Eduard ; Pospíšil, Ctirad Václav (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "Between Freiburg and Aachen. The life and work of the German philosopher, theologian and bishop Klaus Hemmerle" presents for the first time to Czech readers a comprehensive theological biography of Klaus Hemmerle. On the one hand, this bachelor's thesis describes his lifetime, his childhood, the decision for the priesthood, his study and work at the University of Freiburg, his meeting with the Focolare Movement, and finally his long-standing episcopal ministry in Aachen. On the other hand, the author also tries to recognize in Hemmerle's life (bios) the theology, which is truly lived. Its main characteristic is the emphasis on the mystery of the Triune God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and the importance of this mystery for human life and for the philosophical quest for the meaning of being (Trinitarian ontology). But was Hemmerle's philosophical and pastoral endeavor successful? Do Hemmerle's life and work form a kind of unity based on the life (zóé) of Triune God? Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
