Theological-Pastoral Thoughts in Introductions of the Bogoslovska smotra

U radu se analiziraju uvodnici Bogoslovske smotre tijekom proteklih sto godina. Članak je podijeljen u tri dijela. U prvome dijelu donose se osnovni podaci o sveukupnom broju uvodnika, ritmu njihova objavljivanja te temeljnim programskim ciljevima i samome identitetu Bogoslovske smotre. U drugome dijelu nastavlja se razmatrati sadržaje uvodnika. U radu se, zbog opsežnosti broja uvodnika, izdvajaju samo neke teme koje se nameću zbog svoje opetovane prisutnosti ili su osobito aktualne za sadašnji trenutak. Posebno se izdvajaju sljedeće teme: teološko obrazovanje svećenika, obrazovanje na Katoličkome bogoslovnom fakultetu, Drugi vatikanski koncil, papinski dokumenti te suvremeno društvo i kultura. U trećemu dijelu promišljanje o uvodnicima usredotočuje se na neke zadatke pred kojima se nalazi Bogoslovska smotra a odnose se na pitanje naslovnika, identitet časopisa i posebnosti Bogoslovske smotre kao teološkoga časopisa.This article analyses introductions in the Bogoslovska smotra over the past 100 years. Through the analysis of these introductions we comprehend the identity and duties of this periodical as well as the problems the editorial was faced with over the past one hundred years. The article is divided into three sections. The first section brings some basic information about the number of introductions written, their dynamics and fundamental program objectives as well as the very identity of the Bogoslovska smotra. The analysis clearly shows that there are different types of introductions in style, scope and intention. The introductions of the earliest issues are particularly valuable in order to understand the periodical\u27s identity which clearly identifies the idea of the founders of the periodical considering their profiles. The second section continues to consider the contents contained in the introductions. Because of the large number of introductions, the article deals with just some topics that stand out because of their repetitiveness or because they are particularly current at the moment. Special focus is placed on the following topics: theological education of priests, education at the Catholic Faculty of Theology, the Second Vatican Council and pontifical documents and contemporary society and culture. Topics relating to education, particularly permanent education which is ever so current today with regard to the option of competency and life-long learning, have been present in introductions from the very first issues of the periodical. In the third section concerning introductions, the article focuses on some tasks facing the Bogoslovska smotra. Emphasis is placed on three questions. The first relates to the front headline. What are the primary headlines of this periodical and to what extent do the contents of the periodical concur to the needs of the various headlines? Keeping in mind the dual, i.e. scientific-research and informative-educational directions of the Bogoslovska smotra, the author suggests the introduction of a new column that would better concur with the needs of various profiles in the headline. The second question is narrowly related to the first and relates to the identity of the periodical. In that line of thinking, the author points out the lack of clarity in editorial policies concerning the identity and role of the Bogoslovska smotra which sometimes adheres to external guidelines rather than criteria determined by the duties of the periodical itself. The third question relates to the specifity of the Bogoslovska smotra as a theological periodical. In that context, the author highlights the question of the significance of developing its own specifity, avoiding the danger of borrowing or copying someone else\u27s topics and language as a criteria of scientiality
