On the sidelines of the last fifty years of theology study in Maribor

Ta esej postavi obnovljene začetke študija teologije na Enoti v Mariboru kot delu Teološke fakultete, ki je po letu 1990 postala del Univerze v Ljubljani, v kontekst leta 1968. Koncilski prenovi Cerkve predani teologi so se razdelili ob reviji Znamenje in naslovnem škofu Grmiču. Marksistični ideologiji in komunističnemu režimu zvesti duhovniki so odločilno vplivali na vseslovenske razmere in na usodne odločitve v času okupacije in revolucije. Temeljita znanstvenokritična predstavitev tega časa in njegovih protagonistov še čaka na obdelavo. Študij teologije je v slovenskih razmerah marginaliziran, vprašanja religij in Boga pa postajajo vse bolj aktualna.This essay puts the restored origins of the theology study at the Unit in Maribor as a part of the Faculty of Theology, which became a part of the University of Ljubljana after 1990, in the context of the year 1968. Theologians, dedicated to the Council renewal of the Church, split up at the journal Znamenje and titular bishop Grmič. Priests, loyal to the Marxist ideology and the communist regime, influenced decisively the Pan-Slovenian situation and the fatal decisions in times of the occupation and revolution. A thorough scientific and critical examination of that period and its protagonists has yet to be conducted. In Slovenian circumstances, the study of theology is marginalised, but the issues of religions and God are becoming increasingly relevant
